Schistosoma haematobium infection in pregnancy
Acta Tropica, 1992Due to the economical lack of safe drugs in a remote area of Ghana (Bawku District) to treat Schistosoma haematobium infection during pregnancy, the spontaneous outcome of the pregnancy in women with proved S. haematobium infection was compared with a control group (average hospital delivery). In a survey of 200 pregnant women, we found a prevalence of

Is Schistosoma mansoni Replacing Schistosoma haematobium in the Fayoum?
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1993Schistosoma mansoni is progressively replacing S. haematobium along the Nile River in Egypt. This change has occurred in the past 15-20 years following construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s. The cause is a shift in relative abundance of the snail vectors Biomphalaria alexandrina and Bulinus truncatus.

Cryoglobulins in "Schistosoma haematobium" infection
Acta tropica, 1983The sera of school children with Schistosoma haematobium infection were tested for the presence of cold-insoluble immune complexes "the cryoglobulins". Two different methods were used: the standard macro-technique and the micro-adaptation technique. On using the standard macro-technique, 40 (32.8%) out of 122 schistosomiasis patients and 6 (7.5%) out ...

Granulomatous Dacryoadenitis Caused by Schistosoma haematobium
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1977An 11-year-old boy from Sierra Leone developed a mass in the left lacrimal gland a year after trauma to the left side of the brow. Biopsy of the mass led to the diagnosis of schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium, which had not been suspected previously.

The surface structure of the tegument of Schistosoma haematobium
Cell Biology International Reports, 1977The surface structure of the tegument of adult S. haematobium (Egyptian strain) was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Most of the dorsal surface of the male is studded by prominent, spine-covered tubercles, or bosses, not found in the female. Structural details of the oral and ventral suckers and sensory organelles, and local variations in the ...

Schistosoma haematobium : A Delayed Cause of Hematuria
Urology, 2017A 22-year-old African American man with recurrent episodes of gross hematuria for 6 months presented to the clinic for evaluation. A thorough history revealed that the patient emigrated from Mozambique to the United States 12 years ago. Urine culture was negative for a urinary tract infection. Cystoscopy revealed 4 lesions in the bladder. Biopsy of the

The development ofSchistosoma haematobiumin the hamster
Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1978The in vivo development of Schistosoma haematobium in the hamster was studied. Six stages of development were distinguished on the basis of morphological and histochemical criteria. Schistosomula reached the lung (stage 1) on day three post-infection, with maximum concentrations on day nine. Gut formation occurred in the second stage at day 18.

A comparison of some isoenzymes of schistosoma mansoni and schistosoma haematobium
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1970Abstract 1. 1. The electrophoretic separation is described for acid phosphatase, non-specific esterase, leucine amino peptidase, lactase, malate, α-glutamate, glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases from adults of four populations of Schistosoma mansoni and one population of S. haematobium. 2. 2.

Production of Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mansoni cercariae in Tanzania
Experimental Parasitology, 1967Abstract Few Schistosoma haematobium cercariae emerged in darkness, but large numbers did emerge when snails were illuminated after a period in darkness, and the pattern of output was modified in response to alterations in the cycle of illumination. A rise in temperature from 23 °–30 °C stimulated the cercariae to emerge, but the effect of heat was

Acquired immunity and epidemiology of Schistosoma haematobium
Nature, 1991Human immune responses to schistosome infection have been characterized in detail. But there has been controversy over the relative importance of ecological factors (variation in exposure to infection) and immunological factors (acquired immunity) in determining the relationships between levels of infection and age typically found in areas where ...
