Praziquantel: its use in control of schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa and current research needs [PDF]
Treatment with praziquantel (PZQ) has become virtually the sole basis of schistosomiasis control in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere, and the drug is reviewed here in the context of the increasing rate that it is being used for this purpose. Attention is
