Experimental Schistosoma haematobium pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

Pulmonary Circulation
Whether all Schistosoma species cause pulmonary hypertension (PH) is unclear. Experimentally exposing mice to Schistosoma haematobium eggs caused PH, which was less severe than that induced by S. mansoni exposure. These findings align with the relatively

Bladder Morbidity and Hepatic Fibrosis in Mixed Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni Infections: A Population-Wide Study in Northern Senegal [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
BACKGROUND: The global distribution map of schistosomiasis shows a large overlap of Schistosoma haematobium- and S. mansoni-endemic areas in Africa. Yet, little is known about the consequences of mixed Schistosoma infections for the human host.

Prevalence of Schistosoma bovis and Schistosoma haematobium hybrids in endemic communities in Ghana. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
BackgroundSchistosomiasis, a debilitating parasitic disease caused by Schistosoma species, poses significant public health challenges in tropical regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

Diverging patterns of introgression from Schistosoma bovis across S. haematobium African lineages

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Hybridization is a fascinating evolutionary phenomenon that raises the question of how species maintain their integrity. Inter-species hybridization occurs between certain Schistosoma species that can cause important public health and veterinary issues ...

Cytokine Responses to Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium in Relation to Infection in a Co-endemic Focus in Northern Senegal

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BackgroundIn Africa, many areas are co-endemic for the two major Schistosoma species, S. mansoni and S. haematobium. Epidemiological studies have suggested that host immunological factors may play an important role in co-endemic areas.

Impact of praziquantel treatment and early reinfection patterns in a mixed Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium infection focus in the Democratic Republic of Congo. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of single versus mixed Schistosoma infections on the efficacy of PZQ treatment as well as on the dynamics of reinfection after treatment.MethodsWe followed 388 randomly selected residents of a village co‑endemic for ...

MALDI-TOF: A new tool for the identification of Schistosoma cercariae and detection of hybrids.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
Schistosomiasis is a neglected water-born parasitic disease caused by Schistosoma affecting more than 200 million people. Introgressive hybridization is common among these parasites and raises issues concerning their zoonotic transmission.

Genome-wide insights into adaptive hybridisation across the Schistosoma haematobium group in West and Central Africa.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Schistosomiasis remains a public health concern across sub-Saharan Africa; current control programmes rely on accurate mapping and high mass drug administration (MDA) coverage to attempt disease elimination.

Reduction of testosterone levels in Schistosoma haematobium- or Schistosoma mansoni-infected men: a cross-sectional study in two schistosomiasis-endemic areas of the Adamawa region of Cameroon

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background The incidence of schistosomiasis‐induced male reproductive dysfunction and infertility is probably underestimated compared to female genital schistosomiasis. This study aimed to investigate the impact of Schistosoma haematobium or S.
