[Progress of research on mechanism of growth and development of schistosomula of Schistosoma].
The specific molecular targets of schistosomula have been investigated for being new vaccine candidates. The mechanism of the growth and development of the skin-stage, lung-stage and hepatic schistosomula may be related to the immune regulation, signal transduction, sex-differentiation and apoptosis. Actin et al are important molecules which related to the growth and development of schistosomula.
