Recommended reading @wheelerlab.bio! Experimental work using schistosomes is challenging, and therefore procedures simplifying and maximising parasite yield is vital and often used. However, we must acknowledge and accommodate for how these processes impact worm biology, as detailed here!🪱
I am pleased to present a project we've been working on for the least year to try to answer a fundamental question - does a parasite's developmental niche as an egg have effects on larval stages? We show that the answer is very much yes - which has a few implications. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Tissue-specific distribution of eggs in the definitive host drives transcriptomic and behavioral differences in Schistosoma mansoni miracidia
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by human-infective schistosomes (Trematoda: Schistosoma). Intestinal schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa and the Neotropics is caused primarily...

We work with schistosome miracidia, the larval stage that hatches from eggs after being excreted from the definitive host into water. Almost everyone who works with schistosomes use miracidia that were hatched from eggs derived from rodent liver.

We chose stomach/gut (commonly studied), hepatopancreas (liver), and ovotestis (targeted by schistosomes 🪱) from uninfected snails of 2 Biomphalaria species. We also analyzed whole-snail 🐌 microbiomes (commonly studied) to test if they truly reflect the composite of individual organ microbiomes.
