Bayesian risk mapping and model-based estimation of Schistosoma haematobium-Schistosoma mansoni co-distribution in Côte d'Ivoire. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mansoni are blood flukes that cause urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis, respectively. In Côte d'Ivoire, both species are endemic and control efforts are being scaled up.

Prevalence and Hematological Changes in Urogenital Schistosomiasis: Infection Persistence in the Phase of Mass Drug Administration in Sempoa (Kwahu East, Ghana): A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Schistosomiasis is a chronic neglected tropical disease and Ghana's second most prevalent helminth infection. The annual mass drug administration of praziquantel to school children is aimed at reducing disease morbidity as a public health problem.

Detection of Parasite-Specific DNA in Urine Sediment Obtained by Filtration Differentiates between Single and Mixed Infections of \u3cem\u3eSchistosoma mansoni\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3eS. haematobium\u3c/em\u3e from Endemic Areas in Ghana [PDF]

, 2014
Differential diagnosis of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium, which often occur sympatrically in Africa, requires both urine and stool and the procedures are low in sensitivity. The standard diagnostic tests, such as Kato-Katz (KK) for S.

High-quality Schistosoma haematobium genome achieved by single-molecule and long-range sequencing

GigaScience, 2019
Background Schistosoma haematobium causes urogenital schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease affecting >100 million people worldwide. Chronic infection with this parasitic trematode can lead to urogenital conditions including female genital ...

How Do Trematodes Induce Cancer? A Possible Evolutionary Adaptation of an Oncogenic Agent Transmitted by Flukes

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT There is strong epidemiological evidence that development of various cancer types is linked to infection with flukes (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda) in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The exact nature of the mechanism by which cancer is induced by these parasites is unknown.

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.

Plasmodium falciparum Infection Status among Children with Schistosoma in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
BACKGROUND:It has been suggested that Schistosoma infection may be associated with Plasmodium falciparum infection or related reduction in haemoglobin level, but the nature of this interaction remains unclear.

The Effect of Physicochemical Properties of Water Bodies on Schistosomiasis Intermediate Host Snails’ Distribution in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Schistosomiasis, a disease affecting 800 million people in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), is transmitted through direct contact with infected snail intermediate hosts, in freshwater water bodies. Environmental, climatic and physicochemical properties of the water bodies can interfere with parasite development, reproduction, snail growth and ...

Schistosoma mansoni cercariae exploit an elastohydrodynamic coupling to swim efficiently [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The motility of many parasites is critical for the infection process of their host, as exemplified by the transmission cycle of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. In their human infectious stage, immature, submillimetre-scale forms of the parasite known as cercariae swim in freshwater and infect humans by penetrating through the skin.

Cellular and humoral immune responses and protection against schistosomes induced by a radiation-attenuated vaccine in chimpanzees [PDF]

, 2001
The radiation-attenuated Schistosoma mansoni vaccine is highly effective in rodents and primates but has never been tested in humans, primarily for safety reasons.
