Schistosoma Species and Hybrid Genotyping With a Field Deployable Multi‐Marker Amplicon Panel
Abstract Schistosomes are parasitic trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma, responsible for causing urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis. Six primary species infect humans: S. mansoni, S. japonicum, S. mekongi, S. intercalatum, S. guineensis, and S. haematobium. In addition, several species including S. bovis, S. curassoni, and S.

New approaches to measuring anthelminthic drug efficacy: parasitological responses of childhood schistosome infections to treatment with praziquantel [PDF]
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 ...

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

Microbiome‐urothelium crosstalk in bladder cancer: From dysbiosis to clinical translation
This review elucidates the critical crosstalk between the urobiome and bladder cancer (BCa), mapping the landscape from ecological dysbiosis to clinical translation. We synthesize emerging evidence on microbial signatures that distinguish BCa patients, exploring key carcinogenic mechanisms including chronic inflammation, genotoxicity, and the gut ...

Early Cancer Detection: What's Going on and What's Next
Multicancer early detection (MCED) platforms have emerged as a promising strategy for the safe and effective early detection of multiple cancer types, with the potential to reduce metastatic burden and improve clinical outcomes, particularly for aggressive malignancies that lack effective population‐level screening.

Prevalence of Schistosoma heamatobium in Bladder Biopsies among Patients Suspected of Bladder Cancer
Schistosomes are parasitic blood flukes, which have a definitive mammalian host and fresh water snails as an intermediate invertebrate host. There are four human schistosomes which include Schistosoma haematobium, Schistosoma Mansoni, Schistosoma ...
