Siglec homologs interact with membrane-bound Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70) during early infection of the Schistosoma mansoni susceptible (BB02) Biomphalaria glabrata snail host.

The paper identifies siglec homologs interacting with membrane-bound Hsp70 in B. glabrata snails during S. mansoni infection, suggesting a mechanism for immune evasion.

Inhibition of Carbonic Anhydrase Using Aspirin is a Novel Method to Block Schistosomiasis Infection of the Parasitic Trematode, Schistosoma mansoni, in the intermediate snail host, Biomphalaria glabrata

The paper investigates the role of carbonic anhydrase inhibition in Biomphalaria glabrata snails infected with Schistosoma mansoni, showing that aspirin analogs can reduce CA expression in susceptible snails.

PIWI silencing mechanism involving the retrotransposon nimbus orchestrates resistance to infection with Schistosoma mansoni in the snail vector, Biomphalaria glabrata

The paper investigates how PIWI and retrotransposon nimbus interact to modulate resistance to Schistosoma mansoni in Biomphalaria glabrata snails through epigenetic mechanisms.
