BIOACTIVE SERINE PROTEASES FROM HUMAN PARASITE SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI (Schistosoma protease)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
Schistosomiasis caused by trematode parasites, the Schistosoma bloodflukes, represents one of the most serious chronic infections in the developing world with more then 200 million people infected and many more at risk. Schistosomes reside in the portal and mesenteric or bladder and survive for many years producing hundreds of fertilized eggs per day. Chronic infections can persist for decades and ...

Comparative genetic patterns in parasite populations and species: the search for structuring forces (PARAPOPGENE)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
"Gene flow among populations maintains the integrity of a species across its geographical range. To a large extent, gene flow depends on the mobility or dispersal abilities of a species, as well as on landscape features such as the presence of barriers to dispersal. For parasitic organisms, gene flow and the extent of genetic structure among populations are crucial for several key evolutionary pro ...
