In vivo kinetics of eosinophils and mast cells in experimental murine Schistosomiasis

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 82 (supl.4), 1987
During the schistosomiasis infection there is a [quot ]dance of the cells[quot ], varying from site to site and related to the time of infection. 1 - Eosinophil levels exhibit a bimodal pattern, with the first peak related to the egg deposition and maturation and increased Kupfferian hyperplasia; the sec...

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

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 ...

GP38, P28-I and P28-II: candidates for a vaccine against Schistosomiasis

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 82 (supl.4), 1987
Three antigens protective against Schistosoma mansoni have been extensively characterized. The schistosomulum surface antigen GP38 possesses an immunodominant carbohydrate epitope of which the structure has been defined. Protection can be achieved via the transfer of monoclonal antibodies recognizing the...

Antenatal care and low birth weight

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 82 (supl.4), 1987
The following remarks were addressed at the round table that discussed the alternative approaches to schistosomiasis control. The address begins with a short analysis of the progressive spread of the area of distribution of the disease, and of the difficulties faced by those in charge of control programs...

Drug resistance in Schistosomiasis: a review

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 82 (supl.4), 1987
Drug resistance associated with the treatment of human schistosomiasis appears to be an emerging problem requiring more attention from the scientific community than the subject currently receives. Drug-resistant strains of Schistosoma mansoni have been isolated by various investigators as a result of lab...
