G protein-coupled receptor SmGPCR9 interacts with neuropeptides and controls spermatogenesis in Schistosoma mansoni

2026-03-23

Abstract excerpt

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic flatworms of the genus Schistosoma, impacting hundreds of millions of people and animals globally. Disease pathology primarily originates from host immune responses to parasite eggs, which are produced only when female schistosomes are continuously paired with males. Past research focused on pairing-dependent female sexual maturation, while scarce...
