New approaches to measuring anthelminthic drug efficacy: parasitological responses of childhood schistosome infections to treatment with praziquantel [PDF]
, 2015 By 2020, the global health community aims to control and eliminate human helminthiases, including schistosomiasis in selected African countries, principally by preventive chemotherapy (PCT) through mass drug administration (MDA) of anthelminthics ...

Future schistosome hybridizations: Will all Schistosoma haematobium hybrids please stand-up!
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 nterrogating the genetic make-up of schistosome larvae (i.e. eggs, miracidia and cercariae) originating from definitive or intermediate snail hosts with molecular DNA methods has, by noting unexpected inter-species hybrids, started a revolution in our ...

, 2016 Prevalence of S. haematobium in persistent hot-spot and low-prevalence shehias Table 1 shows the prevalence of S. haematobium in children visiting the primary schools located in any of the seven study shehias, stratified by survey year. The average S. haematobium prevalence across all three survey years in 9 – 12 years old schoolchildren was 20.0 % (95

Whole-genome sequence of Schistosoma haematobium [PDF]
Nature Genetics, 2012 Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by blood flukes (genus Schistosoma; schistosomes) and affecting 200 million people worldwide. No vaccines are available, and treatment relies on one drug, praziquantel. Schistosoma haematobium has come into the spotlight as a major cause of urogenital disease, as an agent linked to bladder cancer ...

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.
