Identification of genomic regions implicated in susceptibility to <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> infection in a murine genetic model (backcross)
2022-06-06
Abstract excerpt
High levels of infection and severe liver fibrosis in schistosomiasis appear only in a few cases of infected people with high susceptibility. Tissue damage is caused by the inflammatory response to eggs trapped in the liver. The genetic background influences susceptibility to schistosome infection. To assess the genetic basis of susceptibility to schistosomiasis and identify the chromosomic regions involved, we us...
