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.

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.

Characterization of a native and recombinant Schistosoma haematobium serine protease inhibitor gene product.
TL;DR: Immunologic screening of a Schistosoma haematobium cDNA library with species-specific human antisera identified a clone whose predicted amino acid sequence encodes a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) gene family.

Schistosomal hepatic fibrosis and the interferon gamma receptor: a linkage analysis using single-nucleotide polymorphic markers
TL;DR: HLA studies in Egypt and a candidate gene search in a Sudanese population indicate that the host's genetics contribute to disease susceptibility and weak evidence for linkage to the interleukin 13-4 region and tissue growth factor beta 1 is identified.
Schistosoma mansoni population structure and persistence after praziquantel treatment in two villages of Bahia, Brazil
Ronald E. Blanton,Walter A. Blank,Jackson Maurício Lopes Costa,Theomira Mauadie Azevedo Carmo,Eliana A. G. Reis,Luciano Kalabric Silva,Lúcio Macedo Barbosa,Matthew R. Test,Mitermayer G. Reis +8 more
TL;DR: A population genetics approach was used to test whether or not persistent Schistosomamansoni parasites were drawn from the same population as susceptible parasites, suggesting that the persistent parasites were not selected by praziquantel treatment.
