		Our research is focused on understanding the molecular and immunological mechanisms regulating the pathogenesis of schistosomiasis and other granulomatous diseases, such as tuberculosis.
		Schistosomiasis is an important human disease caused by water-borne parasites of the genus Schistosoma.
		In murine schistosomiasis, the pathology resulting from infection with Schistosoma mansoni is predominantly caused by the host reaction to parasite eggs that are laid in the portal venous system and subsequently trapped in the liver and intestine.

		Three species cause most of the cases of schistosomiasis in people: Schistosoma hematobium infects the urinary tract and bladder, and Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum infect the intestine.
		The infection is acquired by swimming or bathing in fresh water that is contaminated with the parasites.
		The eggs of Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum typically lodge in the intestine and liver, whereas those of Schistosoma hematobium typically lodge in the bladder.
