The Effect of Physicochemical Properties of Water Bodies on Schistosomiasis Intermediate Host Snails’ Distribution in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Schistosomiasis, a disease affecting 800 million people in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), is transmitted through direct contact with infected snail intermediate hosts, in freshwater water bodies. Environmental, climatic and physicochemical properties of the water bodies can interfere with parasite development, reproduction, snail growth and ...

Schistosomiasis Interventions in Africa: Assessment and Systematic Review

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease with high endemicity across Africa. As a waterborne parasitic disease, the population at highest risk includes school‐age children, although adults are also affected. The rationale for this review is to assess the effectiveness of the various schistosomiasis control interventions implemented ...

Imported Schistosomiasis in Southwestern Europe: Wide Variation of Pure and Hybrid Genotypes Infecting Sub‐Saharan Migrants

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Mitochondrial cox1 and nuclear ribosomal ITSs are commonly combined to distinguish Schistosoma species and identify hybrids in endemic countries but very rarely applied to patients diagnosed in Europe despite the increasing arrival of migrants in southwestern Europe.

Multi‐Environment Quantification of Parasite and Intermediate Host DNA on Pasture for Fine‐Scale Disease Risk Assessment

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 5, September–October 2024.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) isolated from multiple environmental sources were used to better assess location suitability for parasite and snail intermediate host species in agricultural settings. ABSTRACT Parasite transmission occurs in complex environments comprising multiple matrices.

Climate change could fuel urinary schistosomiasis transmission in Africa and Europe

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that affects over 200 million people worldwide. The disease is linked to areas that are climatically suitable for its freshwater intermediate snail hosts. To predict the potential impact of climate change on the snail, we use snail life‐history data obtained from lab‐based temperature experiments and snail ...
