Quantifying the mechanics of locomotion of the schistosome pathogen with respect to changes in its physical environment

2019-04-05

Abstract excerpt

Schistosomiasis is a chronic and morbid disease of poverty affecting approximately 200 million people worldwide. Mature schistosome flatworms wander in the host’s hepatic portal and mesenteric venous system where they encounter a range of blood flow conditions and geometrical confinement. However, the mechanisms that support schistosome locomotion and underlie the pathogen’s adaptation to its physical environment...
