The genome of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni

Matthew Berriman, +66 more
- 16 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of the 363 megabase nuclear genome of the blood fluke, the first sequenced flatworm, and a representative of the Lophotrochozoa offers insights into early events in the evolution of the animals, including the development of a body pattern with bilateral symmetry, and theDevelopment of tissues into organs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic organization and expression profile of the mucin-associated surface protein (masp) family of the human pathogen Trypanosoma cruzi

TL;DR: An analysis of the genomic organization and expression profile of masp genes suggests that MASP may be GPI-anchored and shed into the medium culture, thus contributing to the large repertoire of parasite polypeptides that are exposed to the host immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of cDNA clones encoding ribonucleoprotein antigens expressed in Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes

TL;DR: Sera from patients with Chagas' disease were used to screen a Trypanosoma cruzi amastigote cDNA library and showed that 21 cDNAs encode previously identified T. cruzi ribosomal and flagellar proteins, heat-shock proteins or proteins with repetitive motifs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of a Trypanosoma cruzi antigen with homology to intracellular mammalian lectins.

TL;DR: Investigation of cDNAs isolated from a Trypanosoma cruzi amastigote library immunoscreened with sera from patients with Chagas disease indicates a sub-cellular localization in the vicinity of the flagellar pocket membrane and the Golgi complex of the parasite.
