Abstract: Schistosome is covered by a living syncytium, called tegument, which plays important role in nutrient uptake and immune evasion. Recently, tegumental proteomic research identified lots of proteins, of which there may be potential targets for diagnosis, drugs and vaccines.

Key words: Schistosome, Tegument, Structure, Function, Proteome
