Brief description With the increasing occurrence of the debilitating tropical disease schistosomiasis due to climate change, novel therapeutics are in demand. Current therapies rely on treatment with a single drug, and require repeated application. In this timely study, we will elucidate the role of surface-associated proteins, hypothesised to be the crucial stabilising factor in the body wall of the blood-feeding worm schistosome that protects the parasite. Targetting these proteins will lead to new therapeutics against schistosomiasis.
