SYSTEMATICALLY IMPROVED IN VITRO CULTURE CONDITIONS REVEAL NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF THE HUMAN PARASITE SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI.

Systematically improved in vitro culture conditions reveal new insights into the reproductive biology of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni.

Schistosomes infect over 200 million people.The prodigious egg output of these parasites is the sole driver of pathology due to infection, yet our understanding of sexual reproduction by schistosomes is limited because normal egg production is not sustained for more than a few days in vitro.Here, we describe culture conditions that support schistos

Edaphic fauna and soil properties under different managements in areas impacted by natural disaster in a mountainous region

ABSTRACT Soil invertebrate fauna plays a major role in several environmental processes, and its absence can negatively mask impact ecosystem health.This study aimed to assess the recovery of epigeal and edaphic invertebrate faunal communities following an environmental disaster, with landslides, mudflow, and river floods, in sites under different m
