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.

One Health – an Ecological and Evolutionary Framework for tackling Neglected Zoonotic Diseases [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding the complex population biology and transmission ecology of multihost parasites has been declared as one of the major challenges of biomedical sciences for the 21st century and the Neglected Zoonotic Diseases (NZDs) are perhaps the most ...

Urogenital schistosomiasis elimination in Zanzibar: accuracy of urine filtration and haematuria reagent strips for diagnosing light intensity Schistosoma haematobium infections

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Urine filtration and microhaematuria reagent strips are basic standard diagnostic methods to detect urogenital schistosomiasis. We assessed their accuracy for the diagnosis of light intensity infections with Schistosoma haematobium as they occur in ...

Synthesis of 1,2,3‐Triazole‐Methyl‐Menadione Derivatives: Evaluation of Electrochemical and Antiparasitic Properties against two Blood‐Dwelling Parasites

ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The present study describes the synthesis and thorough investigation of 1,2,3‐triazole‐methyl‐menadione derivatives with particular emphasis on their electrochemical and physicochemical properties and their antiparasitic activities against Plasmodium falciparum and Schistosoma mansoni. Although less effective against P.

Significant Progress in the Study of African Freshwater Snails Over the Past 260 Years

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
Globally, freshwater ecosystems are threatened, and studies estimate rapid degradation compared with terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Like most other tropical regions, Africa still has far to go regarding discovery and documentation. Using a systematic review process, we evaluated freshwater African snail studies.
