Indian schistosomes need of further investigations

I have contributed above article in the Journal of Parasitology Research which is a on line journal .In fact, this paper is the invitation to international scientists to work (particularly molecular studies) on Indian schistosomes and their interactions in different host species . It is interesting to know why Indian pigs have innate resistance to all Indian schistosomes except S.incognitum or why Sheep,goats suffer acutely with S.indicum,S.spindale,S.incognitum but S.nasale fails to reach to maturity in them. In my opinion, immunological studies in these lines will pave the way how man can be protected with pathogenic schistosome species.
