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.

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.

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.

Transmission and diversity of Schistosoma haematobium and S. bovis and their freshwater intermediate snail hosts Bulinus globosus and B. nasutus in the Zanzibar Archipelago, United Republic of Tanzania.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
BackgroundThe Zanzibar Archipelago (Pemba and Unguja islands) is targeted for the elimination of human urogenital schistosomiasis caused by infection with Schistosoma haematobium where the intermediate snail host is Bulinus globosus.

Bulinus snails in the Lake Victoria Basin in Kenya: Systematics and their role as hosts for schistosomes.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
The planorbid gastropod genus Bulinus consists of 38 species that vary in their ability to vector Schistosoma haematobium (the causative agent of human urogenital schistosomiasis), other Schistosoma species, and non-schistosome trematodes.

Cytokine responses to Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium in relation to infection in a co-endemic focus in northern Senegal. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
In 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.

Prevalence, intensity, and risk factors of urinary schistosomiasis among primary school children in Silame, Sokoto, Nigeria [PDF]

Microbes and Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background: Nigeria is the global hotspot for schistosomiasisdespite several rounds of school-based preventive chemotherapy because reliable data regarding its geographical distribution are lacking and there is a need to know the current prevalence for ...
