PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 Similarly to schistosomiasis, a single dose of PZQ eliminates the vast majority of Hymenolepis egg excretion [10–12]. However, it is likely that a PZQ gap exists in many communities being targeted by MDA in that the geographical location of Hymenolepis infections may not necessarily overlap with that of schistosomiasis.
