Evaluation of Midwife‐Led Colposcopy for Female Genital Schistosomiasis Screening at Primary Level of Care in Rural Madagascar: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 49-57, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Female genital schistosomiasis is a condition with a complex diagnosis and severe consequences such as infertility. In the absence of a reliable biomarker, in endemic settings the World Health Organization recommends colposcopy as a diagnostic tool for the detection of female genital schistosomiasis lesions.

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.

Mathematical Modeling of the Dynamics of Female Genital Schistosomiasis as a Risk Factor to Cervical Cancer

Abstract and Applied Analysis, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), caused by chronic infection with Schistosoma haematobium, represents a significant but neglected gynecological condition that affects approximately 56 million women in sub‐Saharan Africa. This parasitic disease manifests itself through chronic inflammation and tissue damage in the female genital tract, leading to ...

Genetic Diversity and Ecological Distribution of Bulinus Populations in Southern Benin Using PCR‐RFLP Analysis

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Schistosomiasis remains a major public health concern in Benin. Freshwater snails of the genus Bulinus serve as intermediate hosts for schistosomes, trematode parasites responsible for bilharzia. The urinary form, caused by Schistosoma haematobium, is the most prevalent and is primarily transmitted by Bulinus truncatus and Bulinus globosus, whereas the

Lung Involvement in Chronic Schistosomiasis with Bladder Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We report a case of chronic Schistosoma haematobium infection with pseudometastatic pulmonary nodules and high-grade squamous cell carcinoma in a 30-year-old man in Mali. Lung biopsies revealed chronic pulmonary involvement of S.

A Worm‐Like Illusion: Fibrin Clot Mimicking Parasitic Infection in a Child With Hematuria

Case Reports in Urology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Hematuria in children often presents a diagnostic puzzle, especially when cystoscopic findings are unexpected—such as the appearance of worm‐like structures. We report the case of a 13‐year‐old male with recurrent hematuria, initially suspected of having a parasitic bladder infection based on endoscopic findings.

Unveiling the Silent Regulators: Noncoding RNAs in Parasitic Disease Diagnosis and Therapy

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Parasitic diseases remain a major global health burden, particularly in tropical and low‐resource regions, where limitations in early diagnosis and effective therapeutics contribute to high morbidity and mortality. Emerging evidence highlights noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) as critical regulators of host–parasite interactions, offering novel opportunities for

Prevalence and Infection Intensity of Soil‐Transmitted Helminths and Schistosomiasis Among Preschool Children in Mainland Tanzania

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) and schistosomiasis (SCH) are significant public health concerns in Tanzania, known to impair cognitive and physical development in young children. To effectively guide control programs, a comprehensive understanding of their current prevalence and intensity is essential.

Schistosomiasis Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Among School‐Going Children Aged 5–14 Years in Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB), South Africa

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Schistosomiasis, a parasitic waterborne infection, remains a major public health challenge in disadvantaged regions, with schoolchildren (5–14 years) at high risk due to frequent water exposure. The study is aimed at assessing the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to schistosomiasis among school‐aged children in Nelson ...
