Molluscicidal Activity of Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) and Camellia sinensis var. Assamica (Purple Tea) Extracts Against Biomphalaria pfeifferi, the Major Vector Snail of Human Schistosomiasis in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Freshwater pulmonate snails are prevalent across Kenya and act as intermediate hosts for trematode parasites, some of which are snail vectors for human schistosomiasis. Chemical molluscicides have rarely been used routinely in Kenya to control snails due to high costs of manufacture and the subsequent environmental concerns associated with their use ...

The P2X7 Receptor and Its Relation to Neglected Tropical Diseases: Focusing on Chagas Disease

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) that can lead to severe cardiac complications, including chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy. While NTDs are caused by a variety of pathogens—such as protozoa, bacteria, viruses, and helminths, Chagas disease remains underexplored, particularly regarding host immune responses.

Prospective, observational study to assess the performance of CAA measurement as a diagnostic tool for the detection of Schistosoma haematobium infections in pregnant women and their child in Lambaréné, Gabon: study protocol of the freeBILy clinical trial in Gabon

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Schistosoma antigen detection in urine is a valuable diagnostic approach for schistosomiasis control programmes because of the higher sensitivity compared to parasitological methods and preferred sampling of urine over stool.

Colon polyps in Schistosoma haematobium schistosomiasis [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1998
(McCully et al. 1976 loc. cit.). In Egypt there are distinct areas where either S. mansoni or S. haematobium is predominant (HF el Sayed et al. 1995 Am J Trop Med Hyg 52: 194-198). In Angola, in the northern part of the country where the patient comes from, S. haematobium predominates. In Brazil, schistosomiasis is due to S.
