A survey of the prevalence of Schistosomiasis among pupils in Apata and Laranto areas in Jos, Plateau State [PDF]

Online Journal of Health & Allied Sciences, 2004
Prevalence of Schistosomiasis in apparently healthy primary school pupils in Apata and Laranto areas of Jos was surveyed using 300 samples of stool and 300 samples of urine.

Differentiation of Schistosoma haematobium from related schistosomes by PCR amplifying an inter-repeat sequence. [PDF]

, 2007
Schistosoma haematobium infects nearly 150 million people, primarily in Africa, and is transmitted by select species of local bulinid snails. These snails can host other related trematode species as well, so that effective detection and monitoring of ...

Nuclear genome of Bulinus truncatus, an intermediate host of the carcinogenic human blood fluke Schistosoma haematobium

Nature Communications, 2022
Some snails act as intermediate hosts (vectors) for parasitic flatworms (flukes) that cause neglected tropical diseases, such as schistosomiases. Schistosoma haematobium is a blood fluke that causes urogenital schistosomiasis and induces bladder cancer ...

Chromosome-level genome of Schistosoma haematobium underpins genome-wide explorations of molecular variation

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Urogenital schistosomiasis is caused by the blood fluke Schistosoma haematobium and is one of the most neglected tropical diseases worldwide, afflicting > 100 million people.

Hybridization increases genetic diversity in Schistosoma haematobium populations infecting humans in Cameroon

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2022
Background Hybrids between Schistosoma haematobium ( Sh ) and S. bovis ( Sb ) have been found in several African countries as well as in Europe. Since the consequences of this hybridization are still unknown, this study aims to verify the presence of ...

Schistoscope: An Automated Microscope with Artificial Intelligence for Detection of Schistosoma haematobium Eggs in Resource-Limited Settings

Micromachines, 2022
For many parasitic diseases, the microscopic examination of clinical samples such as urine and stool still serves as the diagnostic reference standard, primarily because microscopes are accessible and cost-effective.

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.

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.

Morphological and genomic characterisation of the Schistosoma hybrid infecting humans in Europe reveals admixture between Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma bovis

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Schistosomes cause schistosomiasis, the world’s second most important parasitic disease after malaria in terms of public health and social-economic impacts.
