The essential schistosome tegumental ectoenzyme SmNPP5 can block NAD-induced T cell apoptosis
Infection with intravascular platyhelminths of the genus Schistosoma can result in the debilitating disease schistosomiasis. Schistosomes (blood flukes) can survive in the host for many years. We hypothesize that proteins on their host-interactive surface modify the worm’s external environment to he...
