Colon polyps in Schistosoma haematobium schistosomiasis [PDF]

open access: yesMemórias 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.

Diverging patterns of introgression from Schistosoma bovis across S. haematobium African lineages.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2021
Hybridization is a fascinating evolutionary phenomenon that raises the question of how species maintain their integrity. Inter-species hybridization occurs between certain Schistosoma species that can cause important public health and veterinary issues ...

Estimation of changes in the force of infection for intestinal and urogenital schistosomiasis in countries with Schistosomiasis Control Initiative-assisted programmes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The last decade has seen an expansion of national schistosomiasis control programmes in Africa based on large-scale preventative chemotherapy. In many areas this has resulted in considerable reductions in infection and morbidity levels in treated ...

The impact of single versus mixed schistosome species infections on liver, spleen and bladder morbidity within Malian children pre- and post-praziquantel treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: In the developing world co-infections and polyparasitism within humans appear to be the rule rather than the exception, be it any combination of inter-specific and/or inter- and intra-Genera mixed infections.

Enhancing schistosomiasis drug discovery approaches with optimized proteasome substrates

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 34, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease infecting over 200 million people globally, has limited therapeutic options. The 20S proteasome is a validated drug target for many parasitic infections, including those caused by Plasmodium and Leishmania, and we have previously demonstrated antischistosomal activity with inhibitors targeting ...

Co‐endemicity of schistosomiasis and tegumentary leishmaniasis: Spatial co‐clustering in endemic areas

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 6, Page 556-568, June 2025.
Abstract Objectives Schistosomiasis and tegumentary leishmaniasis simultaneously affect areas in tropical and subtropical regions. Co‐infected individuals show a less‐than‐optimal response to treatment and increased regulatory immune responses. However, no study has determined where Schistosoma–Leishmania co‐infections are more likely to occur ...
