Abstract:

Schistosomiasis is a serious but neglected tropical infectious disease, with more than 200 million infected people worldwide. A better understanding of the schistosome-host interactions is the key to effectively controlling and ultimately eliminating this disease. miRNA is an endogenous non-coding small RNA, which acts post-transcriptional regulation of gene functions. Recently, growing evidence indicates that miRNA is a crucial regulator of schistosome-host interactions. In this review, we summarize research advances on miRNA-mediated schistosome-host interactions.

Key words: Schistosome, MiRNA, Host, Interaction
