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.

Prevalence of urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis among school children in South-west Nigeria.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
BackgroundThe risk of co-infection with Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni and the potential harmful effect on morbidity and control is enhanced by the overlapping distribution of both species in sub-Saharan Africa.

Modeling the prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni infection in an endemic population [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
We investigate theoretically if treatment alone can reduce the schistosomiasis's prevalence in an infected population, in a long-lasting sustainable way. We use a non-linear system of ordinary differential equations (a SI system combined with a logistic population growth) which describes the time evolution of the non-infected and infected populations ...

High prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium × Schistosoma bovis hybrids in schoolchildren in Côte d'Ivoire

Parasitology, 2019
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease, though it is highly prevalent in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. While Schistosoma haematobium-bovis hybrids have been reported in West Africa, no data about Schistosoma hybrids in humans are available ...

Neglected Tropical Diseases and Female Infertility: Possible Pathophysiological Mechanisms

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Battling female infertility has posed a global challenge, where neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are nonetheless a notable contributing factor. NTDs affect a variety of diseases, often of a chronic nature, which are often cited as some of the most lethal diseases operating against the most economically disadvantaged populations across the globe.

Schistosoma haematobium–Schistosoma mansoni Hybrid Parasite in Migrant Boy, France, 2017

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Schistosomiasis is frequently detected in persons entering Europe. In 2017, we detected a Schistosoma mansoni–Schistosoma haematobium hybrid parasite infection in a migrant boy from Côte d’Ivoire entering France.

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.
