Abstract

Adult schistosomes transport nutrients from the host bloodstream across their outer body covering or tegument. The tegument is a cytologically unusual structure; it is a syncytium bounded externally by two lipid bilayer membranes. In this review, Patrick Skelly, Louis Tielens and Chuck Shoemaker reconsider our understanding of how glucose enters schistosomes across this unusual outer covering in the light of recent papers characterizing glucose transport proteins and glucose metabolism pathways in these parasites.
