Here, we characterize two\n                    <jats:italic>Schwtosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic>\n                    products, tyrosinase 1 and tyrosinase 2 (SmTYRl \/ SmTYR2) and show that their diphenol oxidase enzyme activities are critical for eggshell formation and produc\u2010tion. The genes encoding these bifunctional enzymes (monophenol and diphenol oxidases) result from a duplication event that likely occurred before speciation and exist in the parasite's genome as multiple copies, which are linked and localized to chromosomes 4 and W. SmTYRl\/SmTYR2 transcription and diphenol oxidase action are developmentally regulated with most enzyme activity localized to the eggshell\u2010producing cells contained within the vitellaria of adult female worms. Importantly, kojic\u2010acid mediated inhibition (IC\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    =0.5\u03bcM) of SmTYRl\/SmTYR2's diphenol oxidase activity during\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    culture of sexually mature adult worms resulted in a significant decrease in the production of phenotypically normal eggs. Therefore our data suggest that SmTYRl \/2 inhibition represents a novel and potentially effective strategy for combating schistosomiasis and furthermore, it may point to new methods for combinatorial control of immunopathology and egg transmission during platyhelminfh infection.\u2014Fitzpatrick J.
