Unexpected encounter of the parasitic kind

Figure 1 Diagram of the three human germ layers and lineage fates. This diagram shows the different organs’ fate according to their original germ layer.

Figure 2 Diagram of parasite classification. Parasite classification is based on their cellular properties. Some species examples are provided.

Figure 3 Chart of the yearly number of scientific literature publications including the keywords “stem cells + parasites” over the last 50 years. This diagram shows the numbers corresponding to scientific literature on PubMed found using the inclusive keywords “stem cells” and “parasites”.

Figure 4 Gene expression and localisation of the different S mansoni stem cell populations in the two main hosts. This diagram explains the different subpopulations of S. mansoni stem cells based on specific gene expression and localisation.
