New approaches to measuring anthelminthic drug efficacy: parasitological responses of childhood schistosome infections to treatment with praziquantel [PDF]

, 2015
By 2020, the global health community aims to control and eliminate human helminthiases, including schistosomiasis in selected African countries, principally by preventive chemotherapy (PCT) through mass drug administration (MDA) of anthelminthics ...

Transcriptional responses of in vivo praziquantel exposure in schistosomes identifies a functional role for calcium signalling pathway member CamKII. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Treatment for clinical schistosomiasis has relied centrally on the broad spectrum anthelmintic praziquantel; however, there is limited information on its mode of action or the molecular response of the parasite.

Kinetics of drug release from clay using enhanced sampling methods [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
A key step in the development of a new drug is the design of drug-excipient complexes that lead to an optimal drug release kinetics. Computational chemistry, specifically enhanced sampling molecular dynamics methods, can play a key role in this context by minimizing the need for expensive experiments and reducing cost and time.

Schistosomiasis in School Age Children in Sierra Leone After 6 Years of Mass Drug Administration With Praziquantel

Frontiers in Public Health, 2019
Historic data and baseline surveys showed schistosomiasis as highly/moderately endemic in 7 of 14 districts in Sierra Leone, justifying annual/biennial mass drug administration (MDA) with praziquantel.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of artemisinin based therapies for the treatment and prevention of schistosomiasis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundChemotherapy based on repeated doses of praziquantel is still the most effective control strategy against Schistosomiasis, however artemisinin derivatives emerged as a family of compounds with schistomicide activity. The aim of the present work
