Abstract:
Glycoconjugates, glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans, and glycoconjugate-modifying enzymes play important roles in host-parasite interactions. In this chapter, we focus on the current knowledge of structures and biological roles of glycoconjugates and M60-like metallopeptidases in survival and pathogenesis of the carcinogenic liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini. Understanding this chapter could lead to the development of novel molecular tools for detecting, preventing, and treating parasitic O. viverrini infection.
