Proteomic differences between extracellular vesicles and extracellular vesicle-depleted excretory/secretory products of barber’s pole worm by Fei Wu, Xueqiu Chen, Zhendong Du, Yanqiong Chen, Danni Tong, Jingju Zhang, Yi Yang, Guangxu Ma, Aifang Du

“…Such research interest is further increased by the discovery of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the ESPs of parasitic worms. Although efforts have been made to reveal the cargos of EVs, little is known about the proteomic differences between EVs and canonical ESPs released by parasitic worms from animals. …”

Purinergic signaling in infection and autoimmune disease by Luiz Eduardo Baggio Savio, Robson Coutinho-Silva

“…In addition, increasing evidence suggests that purinergic signaling contributes to Schistosomiasis morbidity, a neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic worms called schistosomes. Finally, the P2X7 receptor and NLRP3 inflammasome have been described to be involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus, suggesting that these signaling pathways as suitable therapeutic targets for management and treatment of different immune diseases. …”

A post-assembly genome-improvement toolkit (PAGIT) to obtain annotated genomes from contigs. by Swain, M, Tsai, I, Assefa, SA, Newbold, C, Berriman, M, Otto, T

“…The protocol is most accessible for bacterial and small eukaryotic genomes (up to 300 Mb), such as pathogenic bacteria, malaria and parasitic worms. Applying PAGIT to an E. coli assembly takes ∼24 h: it doubles the average contig size and annotates over 4,300 gene models.…”
