Journal ArticleDOI
Paramyosin and actin in schistosomal teguments
Y. Matsumoto,George Perry,Rhea J. C. Levine,Ronald E. Blanton,Adel A. F. Mahmoud,Masamichi Aikawa +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here, by immunoelectron microscopy, that the cytoskeletal proteins actin and paramyosin are organized into major tegumental structures of Schistosoma mansoni, the blood-dwelling trematode parasites that infect 200 million people in developing countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allergies and diabetes as risk factors for dengue hemorrhagic fever: results of a case control study.
Maria Aparecida A. Figueiredo,Laura C. Rodrigues,Mauricio Lima Barreto,José Wellington de Oliveira Lima,Maria da Conceição Nascimento Costa,Vanessa Morato,Ronald E. Blanton,Pedro Fernando da Costa Vasconcelos,Márcio Roberto Teixeira Nunes,Maria Glória Teixeira +9 more
TL;DR: Given the high case fatality rate of DHF, the evidence produced in this study suggests that screening criteria might be used to identify adult patients at a greater risk of developing DHF with a recommendation that they remain under observation and monitoring in hospital.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in growth of school-aged children with schistosomiasis and geohelminth infection
Isabel M. Parraga,Ana Marlucia de Oliveira Assis,Matildes da Silva Prado,Mauricio Lima Barreto,Mitermayer G. Reis,Charles H. King,Ronald E. Blanton +6 more
TL;DR: Growth and development in girls was negatively correlated with intensity of infection, and coinfection with S. mansoni and Trichuris appeared to act synergistically in the development of malnutrition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repeated Exposure Induces Periportal Fibrosis in Schistosoma mansoni-Infected Baboons: Role of TGF-β and IL-4
Idle O. Farah,Paul W. Mola,Thomas M. Kariuki,Mramba Nyindo,Ronald E. Blanton,Christopher L. King +5 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that repeated exposure is a risk factor for periportal fibrosis by a mechanism that primes lymphocytes to produce increased levels of profibrotic molecules that include TGF-β and IL-4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring morbidity in schistosomiasis mansoni: relationship between image pattern, portal vein diameter and portal branch thickness in large-scale surveys using new WHO coding guidelines for ultrasound in schistosomiasis.
Charles H. King,Philip Magak,Ekram Abdel Salam,John H. Ouma,H. Curtis Kariuki,Ronald E. Blanton +5 more
TL;DR: This work evaluated the performance of the qualitative and quantitative components of the new Niamey criteria for morbidity assessment in schistosomiasis mansoni.
