Host Adaptive Immune Status Regulates Expression of the Schistosome AMP-Activated Protein Kinase

Schistosomes exhibit profound developmental adaptations in response to the immune status of their mammalian host, including significant attenuation of parasite growth, development and reproduction in response to deficits in host adaptive immunity. These observations led us to hypothesize that schist...
