RESUMEN

Draft genome sequences for Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum are now available. However, the identity and importance of most schistosome genes have yet to be determined. Recently, progress has been made towards the genetic manipulation and transgenesis of schistosomes. Both loss-of-function and gain-of-function approaches appear to be feasible in schistosomes based on findings described in the past 5 years. This review focuses on reports of schistosome transgenesis, specifically those dealing with the transformation of schistosomes with exogenous mobile genetic elements and/or their endogenous relatives for the genetic manipulation of schistosomes. Transgenesis mediated by mobile genetic elements offers a potentially tractable route to introduce foreign genes to schistosomes, a means to determine the importance of schistosome genes, including those that could be targeted in novel interventions and the potential to undertake large-scale forward genetics by insertional mutagenesis.
