Given that schistosomiasis is a prevalent and debilitating parasitic disease worldwide\, new interve ntion tools are necessary for the precise diagnosis of the infected cases to prevent morbidity. The achievement of new diagnostic tests may be possi ble by the identification of specific biomarkers. The identification of pr oteins associated with acute and chronic infection may indicate new diagno stic candidates. In this context\, proteomic technologies have been progre ssing\, resulting in the discovery of new biomarkers and antigens for diag nosis of different phases of infection. The objective of this study is two -fold: (a) to identify proteomic patterns in sera for the different stages of infection starting from the early stage\, acute then chronic stages of Schistosoma mansoni infections in a mouse model\; (b) to profile the sera of human  infected by S. mansoni\, S. haematobium or both and compare the m with the healthy profile sera.\n\nEveryone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is we lcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the acco mplishments of our PhD candidates.
