Abstract excerpt

Schistosomiasis is a chronic parasitic infection with over 200 million people infected worldwide. In Schistosoma mansoni infections, parasite-derived eggs get trapped in the liver, causing the formation of granulomas, which may develop into periportal fibrosis and portal hypertension, and thus severe morbidity. Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is a secretory protein of eosinophil granulocytes that efficiently...
