Schistosomiasis Japonica Control in Domestic Animals: Progress and Experiences in China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Schistosomiasis japonica, caused by Schistosoma japonicum, is an endemic, zoonotic parasitic disease. Domestic animals, particularly bovines, are thought to play an important role in transmission of the disease. Historically, China was the country mostly

The use of remotely sensed environmental parameters for spatial and temporal schistosomiasis prediction across climate zones in Ghana [PDF]

, 2019
Schistosomiasis control in sub-Saharan Africa is enacted primarily through preventive chemotherapy. Predictive models can play an important role in filling knowledge gaps in the distribution of the disease and help guide the allocation of limited ...

Selecting accurate post-elimination monitoring tools to prevent reemergence of urogenital schistosomiasis in Morocco: a pilot study

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2017
Background After alleged stop of transmission of schistosomiasis and further down the line in post elimination settings, sensitive tools are required to monitor infection status to prevent potential re-emergence.
