Cercarial Density in the River of an Endemic Area of Schistosomiasis Haematobia in Kenya [PDF]
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1997 The cercarial density in natural water and number of infected Bulinus globosus were monitored over a one-year period to identify the transmission foci in an endemic area of schistosomiasis haematobia in Kenya. Overall prevalence and intensity of infection of the study community were 59.2% and 10.9 eggs/10 ml of urine.

Gender-dependent specific immune response during chronic humanSchistosomiasis haematobia [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2001 SUMMARYThe cellular and humoral acquired immune responses to Schistosoma haematobium 28 kD gluthathione S-Transferase (Sh28GST) antigen were evaluated in a Senegalese population chronically infected with S. haematobium parasite. We show a gender-dependent immune response in adult individuals presenting similar intensities of infection.

Asymptomatic Schistosomiasis Haematobia: An Imported Case.
Japanese Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1997 Stool and urine examinations revealed eggs of Schistosoma haematobium in a 31-year-old asymptomatic Japanese female returned from Africa. She was treated with praziquantel, and good therapeutic result was obtained. However, as S. haematobium is not indigeneous to Japan, most Japanese doctors and medical technologists are unfamiliar with this parasitic ...
