Human tumor necrosis factor alpha affects the egg-laying dynamics and glucose metabolism of schistosoma mansoni adult worms in vitro

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Ednilson Hilu00e1rio Lopes-Junior from the the controlWe suggest that hTNF-u03b1 may influence the parasite`s development. It is of interest that the eggs of the treated worms were bigger, as this suggests that hTNF-u03b1 may promote the development of the miracidia. In support of this, Liu et_al [20] reported that microRNA released in vesicles secreted by Schistosoma japonicum regulated host macrophage expression of TNF-u03b1, which can be used by the parasite as a strategy to control the host immune response and its own development.
