CRISPR-assisted test for Schistosoma haematobium. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2023
AbstractSchistosomiasis is a major neglected tropical disease targeted for elimination as a public health issue by 2030, however there is an urgent need for more sensitive and specific diagnostic tests suitable to resource-limited settings. Here we developed CATSH, a CRISPR-assisted diagnostic test for Schistosoma haematobium, utilising recombinase ...

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.

Identification of Bulinus forskalii as a potential intermediate host of Schistosoma hæmatobium in Senegal.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
Understanding the transmission of Schistosoma hæmatobium in the Senegal River Delta requires knowledge of the snails serving as intermediate hosts. Accurate identification of both the snails and the infecting Schistosoma species is therefore essential ...

Point of Care Diagnosis of Multiple Schistosome Parasites: Species-specific DNA Detection in Urine by Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) [PDF]

, 2017
Schistosomes are easily transmitted and high chance of repeat infection, so if control strategies based on targeted mass drug administration (MDA) are to succeed it is essential to have a test that is sensitive, accurate and simple to use.
