Interpreting ambiguous ‘trace’ results in Schistosoma mansoni CCA Tests: Estimating sensitivity and specificity of ambiguous results with no gold standard [PDF]

, 2017
Background The development of new diagnostics is an important tool in the fight against disease. Latent Class Analysis (LCA) is used to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of tests in the absence of a gold standard.

Urinary schistosomiasis and the associated bladder cancer: update

Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute, 2020
Urinary schistosomiasis and its severe complications, mainly bladder cancer, are scarce in non-endemic areas. The deficiency in knowledge and clinical experience of schistosomiasis may lead to inadequate management.

Multiple Key Hosts and Network Structure Shape Viral Prevalence Across Multispecies Communities of Bees

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study develops a quantitative framework that integrates field data, epidemiological models, simulations, and Bayesian inference to identify key viral hosts in multispecies bee communities. By estimating species‐specific R0 values from flower‐visitor networks and viral screening, we show that honeybees, as well as other wild bees, can drive the ...

Effective communication and public engagement strategies to counter misinformation about infectious diseases

Immunology &Cell Biology, Volume 104, Issue 2, Page 92-105, February 2026.
Public trust and cooperation in infectious disease control rest on three pillars: engagement, vaccine communication, and data presentation. Together, these foundations support resilient and inclusive public health responses to misinformation and uncertainty.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of peripheral blood mononuclear cells reveals the transcriptome profile of Microtus fortis immune cells during the early phase of infection with Schistosoma japonicum

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionThe reed vole, Microtus fortis, is the only known natural non-permissive mammalian host of Schistosoma japonicum. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance have not been fully understood.MethodsWe performed single-cell RNA ...

Whole genome analysis of a schistosomiasis-transmitting freshwater snail

Nature Communications, 2017
Biomphalaria snails are instrumental in transmission of the human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. With the World Health Organization's goal to eliminate schistosomiasis as a global health problem by 2025, there is now renewed emphasis on snail control ...
