Suppressing Glucose Transporter Gene Expression in Schistosomes Impairs Parasite Feeding and Decreases Survival in the Mammalian Host

Adult schistosomes live in the host's bloodstream where they import nutrients such as glucose across their body surface (the tegument). The parasite tegument is an unusual structure since it is enclosed not by the typical one but by two closely apposed lipid bilayers. Within the tegument two gl...
