Cell-matrix interactions in Schistosomal portal fibrosis: a dynamic event

Grimaud, Jean-Alexis.
Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 82 (supl.4), 1987
In recent years, one of the most significant progress in the understanding of liver diseases was the demonstration that liver fibrosis is a dynamic process resulting from a balance between synthesis and degradation of several matrix components, collagen in particular. Thus, fibrosis has been found to be ...

A review of achievements of the national schistosomiasis control program in middle and upper Egypt areas

Nassif, Samir.
Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 82 (supl.4), 1987
In Egypt the "national schistosomiasis control program" was formulated to control transmission by reduction of prevalence and intensity of current infections, and thereby achieve an acceptable level of schistosomiasis disease control. The program was implemented foremost in Middle Egypt (1977) and Upper ...

Immunoregulation in human Schistosomiasis by idiotypic interactions and lymphokine-mediated mechanisms

Colley, D. G; Parra, J. C; Montesano, M. A; Lima, M; Nascimento, E; Doughty, B. L; Goes, A; Gazzinelli, G.
Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 82 (supl.4), 1987
Anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) T cells from schistosomiasis patients or former patients proliferate upon exposure to polyclonal or monoclonal anti-soluble egg antigen (SEA) antibodies. Chloroquine does not inhibit, the response, which is induced by F(ab')2 (but not soluble Fab) fragments of these antibodies. P...

The intermediate snail-host: an agenda for future study

Michelson, Edward H.
Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 82 (supl.4), 1987
The strategy for the control of schistosomiasis has shifted from one directed towards the interruption of transmission to one of reducing morbidity. As a consequence of this change, it appears prudent to reassess the role of the malacologist and malacology and identify the future direction to be taken by...
