Schistosoma mansoni co-infection in tuberculosis patients with or without human immunodeficiency virus and factors associated with treatment outcomes: a prospective cohort study [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Tuberculosis (TB) has resurfaced as the leading cause of death by an infectious agent after the COVID-19 pandemic. The fight against TB needs to consider factors associated with mycobacterial reactivation and treatment of TB disease.

Schistosoma mansoni and HIV infection in a Ugandan population with high HIV and helminth prevalence

Tropical Medicine and International Health, 2015
Recent reports suggest that Schistosoma infection may increase the risk of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We used data from a large cross‐sectional study to investigate whether Schistosoma mansoni infection is associated with increased HIV

Large-scale RNAi screening uncovers therapeutic targets in the parasite Schistosoma mansoni

Science, 2020
Schistosome biology illuminated Schistosomiasis is caused by a parasitic flatworm about which little is known. Therefore, options to combat human disease caused by schistosome infection are limited.

Multihost Transmission of Schistosoma mansoni in Senegal, 2015–2018

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
In West Africa, Schistosoma spp. are capable of infecting multiple definitive hosts, a lifecycle feature that may complicate schistosomiasis control. We characterized the evolutionary relationships among multiple Schistosoma mansoni isolates collected ...

Characteristics of persistent hotspots of Schistosoma mansoni in western Côte d’Ivoire

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Preventive chemotherapy with praziquantel is the cornerstone of schistosomiasis control. However, in some social-ecological settings, the prevalence and/or intensity of Schistosoma infection does not lower meaningfully despite multiple rounds of ...
