Role of MicroRNAs in Schistosomes and Schistosomiasis
Schistosomes, a class of parasitic trematode worms, cause schistosomiasis. Accumulating evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs)—small, non-coding RNAs that are known to play critical regulatory roles in many organisms—may be involved in schistosome development and sexual maturation, as well as the...
