Paleoparasitology of Schistosomiasis [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997
Eighteen years ago, when we began our studies in paleoparasitology, the main question proposed was whether Schistosoma mansoni infection has been really introduced by African slave trade in South America or has it been present among indians before Columbus. Up to now the question remains without answer, but it is interesting to point to some old

A New Method to Test Molluscicides against the Philippine Schistosomiasis Snail Vectors

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2020
To expedite the discovery of novel molluscicides in the laboratory, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of a new molluscicidal assay. This assay is based on Oncomelania hupensis quadrasi snails and is called miniaturized plate test or mpt.

Clinically Diagnosed Decompensated Chronic Liver Disease With Suspected Portal Hypertension in a One‐Year‐Old Infant: Diagnostic Challenges in a Resource‐Limited Setting

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic liver disease in infancy is uncommon, diagnostically demanding, and rarely reported from sub‐Saharan Africa, where advanced hepatologic evaluation is seldom accessible. We describe a one‐year‐old boy from rural Somaliland who presented with a two‐week history of progressive abdominal distension, followed by jaundice, hematemesis and ...

Elevated levels of erythrocyte-conjugated dienes indicate increased lipid peroxidation in schistosomiasis mansoni patients [PDF]

, 2004
Schistosoma mansoni causes liver disease by inducing granulomatous inflammation. This favors formation of reactive oxygen species, including superoxide ions, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals all of which may induce lipid peroxidation.

SCHISTOSOMIASIS AND WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT: A RE-EVALUATION OF AN IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENT-HEALTH LINKAGE [PDF]

Many people argue that water resource development projects have negative health effects. In particular, they claim that an increase in schistosomiasis almost automatically results from building dams, irrigation systems, and other water-related activities

Schistosoma japonicum Worms Alter the miRNA Expression Profile of Hepatic Stellate Cells with Potential Implications for Liver Fibrosis and Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Although schistosome eggs are widely recognized as the principal drivers of hepatic granulomatous inflammation and fibrosis, the independent effects of adult worms may be masked by strong egg antigen-mediated responses.

Assessing the Conservation Status, Drivers of Threat and Available Occurrence Records of Sub‐Saharan African Freshwater Molluscs: Gaps and Patterns

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater molluscs are key bioindicators of ecosystem health, yet their conservation status and data coverage in sub‐Saharan Africa remain poorly understood. Mollusca is the third most evaluated phylum on the IUCN Red List in Africa, with 1394 species assessed (656 freshwater), of which 39.6% are Least Concern and 12% Critically Endangered ...

Identification of optimum scopes of environmental factors for snails using spatial analysis techniques in Dongting Lake Region, China

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Owing to the harmfulness and seriousness of Schistosomiasis japonica in China, the control and prevention of S. japonica transmission are imperative. As the unique intermediate host of this disease, Oncomelania hupensis plays an important role

Dealing With Inbuilt Age: A Bayesian Approach to Radiocarbon Dating of Rice, Bamboo and Charcoal From Non Ban Jak, Thailand

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 811-817, August 2026.
ABSTRACT New radiocarbon determinations from rice grains and bamboo have been obtained from Non Ban Jak, Northeast Thailand. These, along with charcoal, date a late Iron Age building sequence. The results come from short‐lived species and charcoal with potential inbuilt age. We built a series of Bayesian models to obtain a reliable chronology.
