Large-scale RNAi screening uncovers new therapeutic targets in the human parasite <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i>

2020-02-06

Abstract excerpt

Schistosomes kill 250,000 people every year and are responsible for serious morbidity in 240 million of the world's poorest people. Despite their profound global impact, only a single drug (praziquantel) is available to treat schistosomiasis, highlighting the need to better understand schistosome biology to drive the development of a new generation of therapeutics. A major barrier to this goal is the paucity of la...
