DOI: 10.1002/eji.201847858
Abstract: The helminth Schistosoma mansoni (S. mansoni) induces a network of regulatory immune cells, including interleukin (IL)‐10‐producing regulatory B cells (Bregs). However, the signals required for the development and activation of Bregs are not well characterized.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-019-06465-w
Abstract: Schistosomiasis is a neglected chronic parasitic disease with a significant lasting morbidity. Currently, praziquantel (PZQ) is the most efficient drug for schistosomiasis worldwide. However, the possibility of the occurrence of resistance to PZQ is increasing.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2020.105714
Abstract: The control of schistosomiasis depends exclusively on praziquantel (PZQ) monotherapy with treatment failure due to minor activity against the juvenile stage, re-infection and emerging drug resistance. Improving the antischistosomal therapeutic/prophylactic profile of PZQ is a… read more here.
