Studies on cell-cycle synchronization in the asexual erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum.

abstract：:Previous studies of mating interactions between schistosome species from different evolutionary lineages in mice showed that mating is not random: heterospecific pairs form but, given the choice, the preference is for homospecific partners. Mating competition and change of mate were also demonstrated. Schistosoma mans...

abstract：:Th2-biased inflammation with eosinophilia and IgE production is a hallmark of helminth infections. It is pronounced in hyperreactive onchocerciasis patients ('sowda' or 'local form'), who efficiently kill microfilariae resulting in severe dermatitis and lymphadenitis. In contrast, hyporeactive patients ('generalised f...
