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

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 ...
