Repeated Visits to a Woman With Suspected Worms Discharged From the Urethra—A Case Study

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT A 58‐year‐old female presented with a 6‐month history of recurrent “worms” found in her toilet, which she suspected originated from her urinary tract. Physical examination was unremarkable. Laboratory analysis revealed motile, blood‐red worm‐like organisms measuring 25–35 mm in length, initially suspected to be Dioctophyma renale larvae ...

Schistosoma haematobium effects on Plasmodium falciparum infection modified by soil-transmitted helminths in school-age children living in rural areas of Gabon

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Background Malaria burden remains high in the sub-Saharan region where helminths are prevalent and where children are often infected with both types of parasites.

CA88, a nuclear repetitive DNA sequence identified in Schistosoma mansoni, aids in the genotyping of nine Schistosoma species of medical and veterinary importance

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2010
CA88 is the first long nuclear repetitive DNA sequence identified in the blood fluke, Schistosoma mansoni. The assembled S. mansoni sequence, which contains the CA88 repeat, has 8,887 nucleotides and at least three repeat units of approximately 360 bp ...

Imported Schistosomiasis: A New Public Health Challenge for China

Frontiers in Medicine, 2020
Significantly increased imported schistosomiasis cases have been reported in China as the economy grows. The aim of this study is to review and summarize the current status, clinical features, and transmission risk of imported infections of Schistosoma ...

Paragonimiasis Diagnosed Through Detection of Parasitic Ova in Pleural Effusion: A Clinical Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
We report a rare case of paragonimiasis initially presenting with trauma. Initial imaging and laboratory findings were predominantly indicative of trauma and nonspecific inflammatory responses, which obscured the clues of parasitic infection. The definitive diagnosis was achieved through comprehensive epidemiological history collection and parasitic ...

Improved diagnosis of active Schistosoma infection in travellers and migrants using the ultra-sensitive in-house lateral flow test for detection of circulating anodic antigen (CAA) in serum

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2018
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease affecting over 250 million people in the tropics. In non-endemic regions, imported Schistosoma infections are commonly diagnosed by serology, but based on antibody detection an active infection cannot be ...

Needle in a Haystack: A Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay to Detect Rare Helminth Parasites Infecting Natural Host Populations

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Helminths infect humans, livestock, and wildlife, yet remain understudied despite their significant impact on public health and agriculture. Because many of the most prevalent helminth‐borne diseases are zoonotic, understanding helminth transmission among wildlife could improve predictions and management of infection risks across species.

Point-of-care mobile digital microscopy and deep learning for the detection of soil-transmitted helminths and Schistosoma haematobium

Global Health Action, 2017
Background: Microscopy remains the gold standard in the diagnosis of neglected tropical diseases. As resource limited, rural areas often lack laboratory equipment and trained personnel, new diagnostic techniques are needed.

Sm16, a major component of Schistosoma mansoni cercarial excretory/secretory products, prevents macrophage classical activation and delays antigen processing

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
BackgroundSchistosoma mansoni cercariae penetrate the skin by releasing excretory/secretory (E/S) products known as 0-3hRP, which are associated with immune modulation through Toll like receptor (TLR) signalling.
