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

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.
