SCHISTOSOMIASIS AND WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT: A RE-EVALUATION OF AN IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENT-HEALTH LINKAGE [PDF]

Many people argue that water resource development projects have negative health effects. In particular, they claim that an increase in schistosomiasis almost automatically results from building dams, irrigation systems, and other water-related activities

Investigating genetic profiles of cases of Schistosoma spp. imported into Europe: a cohort from the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Study Group for Clinical Parasitology

Parasites & Vectors
Background The potential of schistosomiasis to spread across borders, coupled with the considerable delay by which infected travellers and migrants are diagnosed in Europe, calls for better surveillance of the distribution of this disease.

New insights into the genetic diversity of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobiumin Yemen

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Human schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease of great importance that remains highly prevalent in Yemen, especially amongst rural communities. In order to investigate the genetic diversity of human Schistosoma species, a DNA barcoding

Resistance evaluation and surveillance initiative for schistosomiasis treatment: study protocol for the RESIST project

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background The Zanzibar islands have implemented mass drug administration (MDA) with praziquantel against Schistosoma haematobium infections since the 2000s, achieving elimination of schistosomiasis as a public health problem in most areas.

Detection of Parasite-Specific DNA in Urine Sediment Obtained by Filtration Differentiates between Single and Mixed Infections of \u3cem\u3eSchistosoma mansoni\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3eS. haematobium\u3c/em\u3e from Endemic Areas in Ghana [PDF]

, 2014
Differential diagnosis of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium, which often occur sympatrically in Africa, requires both urine and stool and the procedures are low in sensitivity. The standard diagnostic tests, such as Kato-Katz (KK) for S.

Plasmodium falciparum Infection Status among Children with Schistosoma in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
BackgroundIt has been suggested that Schistosoma infection may be associated with Plasmodium falciparum infection or related reduction in haemoglobin level, but the nature of this interaction remains unclear.
