Identification of Putative Neuropeptides That Alter the Behaviour of <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> Cercariae

Identification of Putative Neuropeptides That Alter the Behaviour of <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> Cercariae

Elucidating the infectivity of <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i>, one of the main etiological agents of human schistosomiasis, requires an improved understanding of the behavioural mechanisms of cercariae, the non-feeding mammalian infective stage. This study investigated the presence and effec...
