2021-11-07
Abstract excerpt
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease of humans caused by blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma – the only dioecious parasitic flatworms. Although aspects of sex determination, differentiation and reproduction have been studied in some Schistosoma species, almost nothing is understood for Schistosoma japonicum - the causative agent of schistosomiasis japonica.
