Parasite-derived microRNAs in host serum as novel biomarkers of helminth infection.

Parasite-derived microRNAs in host serum as novel biomarkers of helminth infection.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNA that play important roles in disease processes in animals and are present in a highly stable cell-free form in body fluids. Here, we examine the capacity of host and parasite miRNAs to serve as tissue or serum biomarkers of Schistosoma mansoni i...
