Abstract | Manson schistosomiasis is an important cause of hepatic fibrosis, a consequence of the highly fibrogenic
nature of the mature schistosome eggs, the main pathogenetic factor of that disease. Thus, students interested
on schistosomiasis are to be also interested on the subject of fibrosis formation and degradation
since the very beginning of their studies. A brief review of the studies directly related to such interest is
presented here to stress the progress obtained, and to point out to the need of further research | pt_BR |
