DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2021.104170
Abstract: Schistosoma mansoni causes schistosomiasis, which affects 240 million people, and 700 million people are living at risk of infection. Epigenetic mechanisms are important for transcriptional control and are well-known conserved transcriptional co-regulators in evolution, already… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.seares.2017.07.010
Abstract: Abstract In the complex trematode life cycle, cercariae transmit infection from the first to the second intermediate host. These short-lived lecithotrophic larvae possess a complex of behavioural responses for finding and infecting the host. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x20000103
Abstract: Digenean larvae of hermaphroditic generation - cercariae - are known to be polymorphic at genetic and behavioural levels. Cercariae arise as a result of parthenogenetic reproduction of intramolluscan stages, and represent a clone if a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x21000456
Abstract: Abstract In the digenean life cycle the cercaria ensures an important transmission stage, from the first intermediate host to the second or the definitive host. In regions with pronounced seasonality, this process occurs within a… read more here.

Taxa-specific activity loss and mortality patterns in freshwater trematode cercariae under subarctic conditions

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182021002006
Abstract: Abstract Abstract Cercarial activity and survival are crucial traits for the transmission of trematodes. Temperature is particularly important, as faster depletion of limited cercarial energy reserves occurs at high temperatures. Seasonal climate conditions in high… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.06.14.496044
Abstract: Schistosomiasis is a neglected water-born parasitic disease caused by Schistosoma affecting more than 200 million people. Introgressive hybridization is common among these parasites and raises issues concerning their zoonotic transmission. Morphological identification of Schistosoma cercariae… read more here.
