But a team of Swedish researchers has uncoveredevidence that worms do indeed feel pain, and that worms have developed a chemical system similar to that of human beings to protect themselves from it. The Swedish scientists, J. Can blood worms infect humans? If a deerfly eats infected blood fr...
Oxygen requirements have played a major role in determining both the composition of blood and the architecture of the circulatory system. In some simple animals, including smallwormsandmollusks, transported oxygen is merelydissolvedin the plasma. Larger and more-complex animals, which have greater oxyg...

In this work we focus on one key schistosome species infecting humans, Schistosoma mansoni; we examine extracellular and intracellular enzymes of these worms that are involved in the metabolism of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and its key metabolites, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine ...
