Abstract:
Schistosoma mansoni is common in Nigeria as well as in other countries of West Africa (Edington, 1979). The eggs are laid in the small venules of the submucosal layer of the intestinal wall and pass out usually in the faeces but some may enter the blood stream to be found in any organ of the body (Edington et al., 1975). However, a careful search of the available literature failed to reveal any report of schistosomiasis in the ear and hence it was decided to publish this rare case.

Abstract:
In a series of 36 cases of renal disease associated with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis the following morphologic types of glomerulonephritis were found: mesangio-capillary (33.2%), mesangial proliferative (25.0%), focal glomerular sclerosis (16.7%) and sclerosing glomerulonephritis (8.3%). No significant statistical differences were found when these results were compared with those from 36 cases of glomerulonephritis not associated with hepatosplenic disease. On the other hand, endocapillary glomerulonephritis was found to be predominant in the latter group of cases. These results did not substantiate the assumption that mesangio-capillary glomerulonephritis is specifically related to hepatosplenic schistosomiais. However, if the types of glomerulonephritis that predominantly involve the me-sangium are considered together, they are significantly associated with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. Mesangial involvement is known to occur in other parasitic diseases and that may be related to a common immunopathogenesis.

Abstract:
Reports have revealed the existence of colonic cancer with chronic bowel schistosomiasis. The specie most frequently involved is Schistosoma japonicum. Few cases have, however, shown Schistosoma mansoni as the involved specie. There seems to be an association between rectal cancer and Schistosoma mansoni infestation. Despite earlier studies that refuted any association between schistosomiasis and colonic cancer, more reports are lending credence to the claim that chronic colonic schistosomiasis, especially with S. Japonicum, may induce colonic cancer and the case with are reporting also point to the fact that S. Mansoni may also be implicated. We report a case of a 35-year-old man with a rectal cancer (pT3N0M0) associated with Schistosoma mansoni. He presented with intestinal obstruction and operation revealed a cirrhotic liver with hepatic schistosomiasis.

Abstract:
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease affecting over 200 million people worldwide. This study reports the design and development of a microfiltration device for isolating schistosome eggs in urine for rapid diagnostics of urogenital schistosomiasis. The design of the device comprises a linear array of microfluidic traps to immobilize and separate schistosome eggs. Sequential loading of individual eggs is achieved autonomously by flow resistance, which facilitates observation and enumeration of samples with low-abundance targets. Computational fluid dynamics modeling and experimental characterization are performed to optimize the trapping performance. By optimizing the capture strategy, the trapping efficiency could be achieved at 100% with 300 mu l/min and 83% with 3000 mu l/min, and the filtration procedure could be finished within 10 min. The trapped eggs can be either recovered for downstream analysis or preserved in situ for whole-mount staining. On-chip phenotyping using confocal laser fluorescence microscopy identifies the microstructure of the trapped schistosome eggs. The device provides a novel microfluidic approach for trapping, counting and on-chip fluorescence characterization of urinal Schistosoma haematobium eggs for clinical and investigative application.

Resumo: A esquistossomose mansônica é uma doença crônica e está incluída na lista das doenças negligenciadas pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS). A quimioterapia representa hoje, o principal recurso para minimizar a prevalência e incidência desta doença no mundo. Atualmente, no Brasil, o tratamento clínico da esquistossomose mansônica é baseado, principalmente, no uso do praziquantel (PZQ). No entanto, o emprego deste fármaco em larga escala, nas principais áreas endêmicas da doença, resultou no desenvolvimento de resistência a diferentes cepas de S. mansoni. Desta forma, faz-se necessária à busca de novos princípios ativos explorando as fontes de compostos sintéticos, semi-sintéticos, além das fontes naturais, para se obter alternativas terapêuticas contra a esquistossomose. No presente estudo, avaliou-se o efeito de Baccharis trimera (Less) DC. por meio de ensaios in vitro e in vivo, sobre vermes adultos de S. mansoni, linhagem BH. Esse estudo avaliou a motilidade dos vermes, machos e fêmeas, oviposição, alterações morfológicas, mortalidade dos parasitas, avaliação da carga parasitária, quantidade de ovos eliminados nas fezes, distribuição dos ovos nos tecidos intestinais e avaliação das reações granulomatosas no tecido hepático. Os resultados mostraram que os tratamentos in vitro, realizados com o óleo essencial e com os extratos orgânicos e frações de diferentes polaridades, nas concentrações de 130 e 91 ?g/mL, reduziram a motilidade e causaram a mortalidade dos parasitas com alterações morfológicas no tegumento e nas ventosas, oral e acetabular. Os tratamentos in vivo alteraram a proporção dos vermes, machos e fêmeas, evidenciando que as fêmeas foram mais sensíveis a B. trimera do que os vermes machos. Também observou-se que os tratamentos realizados com o óleo essencial e com o extrato diclorometânico reduziram significativamente a quantidade de ovos eliminado nas fezes, além de provocarem alterações no oograma, reduzindo a distribuição dos ovos nos tecidos intestinais, quando comparados com o grupo controle. Além disso, esses mesmos tratamentos demonstraram uma redução do número de granulomas hepáticos e a diminuição do diâmetro médio, evidenciando uma redução da reação granulomatosa. De modo geral, observou-se que para cada parâmetro analisado, tanto nos ensaios in vitro quanto nos ensaios in vivo, houve uma variação de resultados de acordo com cada amostra de B. trimera avaliada e as concentrações testadas. O estudo indica o potencial terapêutico da B. trimera no tratamento da esquistossomose mansônica
Abstract: Schistosomiasis mansoni is a chronic disease included in the list of Neglected Diseases by the World Health Organization (WHO). Chemotherapy is now the main resource to minimize the prevalence and incidence of this disease worldwide. Currently in Brazil, the clinical treatment of schistosomiasis is based primarily on the use of praziquantel (PZQ). However, the large scale use of PZQ in endemic areas resulted in the development of resistance to different strains of Schistosoma mansoni. Thus, it is necessary to search for new active principle exploring the sources of synthetic compounds, semi-synthetic, and natural sources to obtain therapeutic alternatives against schistosomiasis. In this study, we evaluated the effect of Baccharis trimera (Less) DC. on adult worms of S. mansoni BH strain in vitro and in vivo. This study evaluated the motility of the worms, males and females, oviposition, morphological abnormalities, parasite mortality, assessment of parasite load, number of eggs in the feces, distribution of eggs in the intestinal tissues and evaluation of granulomatous reactions in liver tissue. The results showed that in vitro treatments made with the essential oil and the organic extracts and fractions of different polarities at concentrations of 130 and 91 ?g/mL, reduced motility, and caused the death of the parasites with morphological changes in tegument and the suckers, oral and acetabular. The treatments in vivo shifted the proportion of worms, males and females, indicating that females were more sensitive to B. trimera than male worms. It was also noted that the treatments performed with the essential oil and the dichloromethane extract significantly reduced the number of eggs eliminated in feces as well as cause changes in oogram, reducing the distribution of eggs in the intestinal tissues, compared with the control group. In addition, these same treatments showed a reduction in the number of hepatic granulomas and a decrease in diameter, showing a reduction of granulomatous reaction. Overall, it was observed that for each parameter analyzed in both, in vitro and in vivo assays, there was a difference in results according to each sample B. trimera evaluated and the concentrations tested. The study indicates the therapeutic potential of B. trimera in the treatment of schistosomiasis

Resumo: Estima-se que a esquistossomose, infecte cerca de 200 milhões de pessoas em 75 países em desenvolvimento no mundo. A larga dispersão dos moluscos transmissores e a relevância da migração interna como fator de instalação da esquistossomose mansônica tem sido um importante fator para se delinear estratégias de prevenção e controle. Do ponto de vista epidemiológico, é importante conhecer quais são as espécies de planorbídeos presentes em determinada região e seu potencial para instalação da doença. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o panorama de distribuição de criadouros de moluscos planorbídeos no município de Monte Mor, SP, através de um levantamento malacológico em coleções de água doce, sua positividade para o Schistosoma mansoni, testar a suscetibilidade dos moluscos encontrados frente a linhagens distintas do trematódeo e como pesquisa complementar análise de fezes de indivíduos oriundos de áreas endêmicas de todo o país, que trabalham na agricultura local. O estudo de campo foi realizado com coletas de mosluscos pelo período de 4 meses em coleções de água doce, através de coletas exaustivas em coleções acessíveis. O material coletado foi analisado e identificado no Laboratório de Helmintologia da Unicamp. Através deste estudo foi possível concluir que existe uma vasta distribuição de moluscos no município de Monte Mor composta pelas espécies: Biomphalaria tenagophila, B. straminea, B. intermedia, B. occidentalis, B. peregrina; além de exemplares dos gêneros: Physa, Lymnaea, Melanoides, Drepanotrema, Pomacea e Achatina. Entre os exemplares coletados de moluscos todos se apresentaram negativos ao S. mansoni e outras larvas de trematódeos. Descendentes dos moluscos planorbídeos do gênero Biomphalaria coletados foram submetidos à exposição individual por 10 miracídios de Schistosoma mansoni das cepas BH, SJ, Pernambuco, Sergipe e Bahia. Neste experimento, espécies de B. tenagophila e B. straminea se infectaram com S. mansoni de Pernambuco. Outras espécies de moluscos se mostraram negativas para a infecção pelo Schistosoma mansoni. As análises complementares de fezes dos trabalhadores locais não apresentaram resultados parasitológicos positivos, o que não descarta sua relevância na transmissão da doença frente ao fluxo anual de diferentes trabalhadores para o trabalho na agricultura local
Abstract: It is estimated that schistosomiasis, infects about 200 million people in 75 countries in the developing world. The wide dispersal of snails transmitters and relevance of internal migration as a factor installation schistosomiasis has been an important factor in order to outline strategies for prevention and control. From the epidemiological point of view, it is important to know what are the snails species present in a given region and its potential for desease onset. The aim of this study was to find a picture of the situation of the distribution of breeding of freshwater snails in the municipality of Monte Mor, SP, throughout a malacological in collections of freshwater, its positivity Schistosoma mansoni, test the susceptibility clam found against distinct strains of S. mansoni and how complementary research scat analysis of individuals from endemic areas throughout the country, working in local agriculture. The field study was conducted with snails collections for a period of four months in collections of freshwater through exhaustive collections of collections accessible. The collected material was analyzed and identified in the laboratory of Helminthology UNICAMP. Through this study it was concluded that there is a wide distribution of snails in the municipality of Monte Mor composed by species: Biomphalaria tenagophila, B. straminea, B. intermedia, B. peregrina e B. occidentalis, besides copies of genres: Physa, Lymnaea, Melanoides, Drepanotrema, Pomacea e Achatina. Among the species collected shellfish all were negative to S. mansoni and other trematode larvae. Descendants of freshwater snails of the genus Biomphalaria collected underwent solo exhibition by 10 miracidia of S. mansoni strains Belo Horizonte, São José dos Campos, Pernambuco, Sergipe e Bahia, where they were checked positivity rates of 13.33% from the line of Pernambuco for species B. tenagophila and 3.33% strain Pernambuco for the species B. straminea. Other species of snails were negative for infection with S. mansoni. The complementary analyzes of feces of local workers did not show positive results parasitological, which does not rule out its relevance in disease transmition across the annual flow of different workers to work in local agriculture

Abstract:
A comparative study was made between normal and unisexual S. mansoni infections to investigate interrelations between male and female parasites. Unisexual infections were successfully maintained in the snail Biomphalaria glabrata and in MF1 mice for a period of one year. Male S. mansoni from unisexual infections were of comparable size to males from bisexual infections, but females in the absence of males failed to grow beyond 49 days post-infection in the mouse and remained sexually immature over a period of one year in isolation. While bisexual infections in the mouse demonstrated hypochromic, microcytic anaemia with haemorrhage and portal hypertension as a result of pathogenesis associated with deposition of eggs in the host liver, the anaemia found in unisexual male infections was mild and developed late in infection. Unisexual female infections appeared to be comparatively non-pathogenic. A study of the nutritional interrelationship between male and female S. mansoni by SDS PAGE electrophoresis of protein components, revealed no major differences between the sexes. A particular protein under investigation (molecular wt. 66kDa) previously thought to be male-specific, was detected in all stages of S. mansoni under study, indicating that no major transfer of nutrients from male to female S. mansoni is occurring. Evidence was presented for the role of chemical messengers in relation to worm pairing and female reproductive morphogenesis. Results from staggered unisexual infections indicated possible release of chemicals from male worms which stimulated partial growth and vitellogenesis in unpaired females in vivo. Ecdy-steroids were detected in tissue extracts of male and female S. mansoni from bisexual and unisexual infections and their possible involvement in schistosome development is discussed. Investigation into the antiparasitic effects of the immunosuppressant drug cyclosporin A (CsA) showed the drug to be highly antischistosomal both therapeutically and prophylactically. Evidence from in vitro skin penetration of CsA-treated mouse skin suggests that the skin represents a major site of parasite attrition. The potential of CsA and other cyclosporin analogues for use in the prevention and treatment of human schistosomiasis is discussed.

Abstract:
AbstractSchistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that affects millions of people in 78 countries, where it is held responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality. It is caused by a blood fluke, which provokes an immunological response to hundreds of its antigens. This induces multi-organ pathology through the formation of tissue granulomata or circulating immune complexes. In addition, it is amyloidogenic and carcinogenic, through the interaction of immunological perturbation with confounding metabolic and genetic factors. The primary targets of schistosomiasis are urinary and hepatointestinal.The lower urinary tract is mainly affected in S. haematobium infection, and may lead to chronic pyelonephritis and/or obstructive nephropathy. The colon and liver are the targets of S. mansoni and S. japonicum infection, leading to hepatic fibrosis, portal hypertension, and liver failure. S. mansoni may also lead to immune complex glomerulonephritis, which is discussed elsewhere. Both S. haematobium and S. mansoni ova may be carried with the venous circulation to the lungs, where they provoke granulomatous and immune-mediated endothelial injury leading to cor-pulmonale. Ova may be subsequently carried with the arterial circulation to form ‘metastatic’ granulomas in other tissues, notably the brain (S. japonicum), spinal cord (S. haematobium), skin, conjunctiva, and genital organs.Schistosomiasis is preventable. World Health Organization programmes have successfully eradicated or reduced the incidence of infection in many countries, particularly Egypt and China. Prevention strategies include health education, raising hygiene standards, and interruption of the parasite’s life cycle by snail control and mass treatment. The search for a vaccine continues. Effective antiparasitic treatment is now possible with high elimination rates. Available agents include praziquantel and artemether for all species, metrifonate for S. haematobium, and oxamniquine for S. mansoni. Successful outcome correlates with early intervention, before fibrosis has occurred.

Abstract:
The urinary system is the primary target of Schistosoma haematobium infection, which leads to granuloma formation in the lower urinary tract that heals with fibrosis and calcification. While the early lesions may be associated with distressing acute or subacute symptoms, it is the late lesions that constitute the main clinical impact of schistosomiasis. The latter include chronic cystitis, ureteric fibrosis, ureterovesical obstruction or reflux which may lead to chronic pyelonephritis. Secondary bacterial infection and bladder cancer are the main secondary sequelae of urinary schistosomiasis.The kidneys are also a secondary target of S. mansoni infection, attributed to the systemic immune response to the parasite. Specific immune complexes are responsible for early, often asymptomatic, possibly reversible, mesangioproliferative lesions which are categorized as ‘class I’. Subsequent classes (II–VI) display different histopathology, more serious clinical disease, and confounding pathogenic factors. Class II lesions are encountered in patients with concomitant salmonellosis; they are typically exudative and associated with acute-onset nephrotic syndrome. Classes III (mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis) and IV (focal segmental sclerosis) are progressive forms of glomerular disease associated with significant hepatic pathology. They are usually associated with immunoglobulin A deposits which seem to have a significant pathogenic role. Class V (amyloidosis) occurs with long-standing active infection with either S. haematobium or S. mansoni. Class VI is seen in patients with concomitant HCV infection, where the pathology is a mix of schistosomal and cryoglobulinaemic lesions, as well as amyloidosis which seems to be accelerated by the confounded pathogenesis.Early schistosomal lesions, particularly those of the lower urinary tract, respond to antiparasitic treatment. Late urological lesions may need surgery or endoscopic interventions. As a rule, glomerular lesions do not respond to treatment with the exception of class II where dual antiparasitic and antibiotic therapy is usually curative. Patients with end-stage kidney disease may constitute specific, yet not insurmountable technical and logistic problems in dialysis or transplantation. Recurrence after transplantation is rare.
