TL;DR: An attenuated knock-out Leishmania (LmCen−/−) vaccine that is safe in immunocompromised mice and induces an immune response and protection similar to leishmanization with wild-type Leishmanniasis is engineer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution and risk factors of Schistosoma haematobium and hookworm infections among schoolchildren in Kwale, Kenya
Evans Asena Chadeka,Sachiyo Nagi,Toshihiko Sunahara,Ngetich Benard Cheruiyot,Felix Bahati,Yuriko Ozeki,Manabu Inoue,Mayuko Osada-Oka,Mayuko Okabe,Yukio Hirayama,Mwatasa Changoma,Keishi Adachi,Keishi Adachi,Faith Mwende,Mihoko Kikuchi,Risa Nakamura,Yombo Dan Justin Kalenda,Satoshi Kaneko,Kenji Hirayama,Masaaki Shimada,Yoshio Ichinose,Sammy M. Njenga,Sohkichi Matsumoto,Shinjiro Hamano +23 more
TL;DR: The intensity of S. haematobium infection was associated with religion and socioeconomic status (SES), while that of hookworm infection was related to SES, sex, distance to river and history of anthelmintic treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Schistosoma mansoni infection suppresses the growth of Plasmodium yoelii parasites in the liver and reduces gametocyte infectivity to mosquitoes.
Taeko Moriyasu,Risa Nakamura,Sharmina Deloer,Masachika Senba,Masato Kubo,Megumi Inoue,Richard Culleton,Shinjiro Hamano +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out coinfection studies using Plasmodium yoelii and Schistosoma mansoni in mice and found that mice infected with S. mansoni infection are significantly inhibited in the liver following sporozoite inoculation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mouse models of amoebiasis and culture methods of amoeba
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes mouse models of amoebiasis and the current state of laboratory culture method of amobasophagea in the laboratory is presented. And a mouse model of liver abscess by inoculating amoba through portal vein is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dynamics of ultrastructural changes during Entamoeba invadens encystation.
Eman Abdelazeem Abuelwafa Mousa,Miako Sakaguchi,Risa Nakamura,Osama H Abdella,Hiroki Yoshida,Shinjiro Hamano,Fumika Mi-ichi +6 more
TL;DR: A functional linkage of processes that are crucial in encystation, such as glycogen accumulation and cyst wall formation is indicated, which provides a reference for studying sequential molecular events during Entamoeba ency station.
