Experimental Parasitology, 1974
Abstract Differences in the granulomatous response of hamsters infected with Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma haematobium , or Schistosoma japonicum were studied by measuring granulomas formed around eggs in the livers at 1, 3, 5, 11, and 19 week intervals after patency of the infections.

Recent investigations of artemether, a novel agent for the prevention of schistosomiasis japonica, mansoni and haematobia

Acta Tropica, 2002
Two decades ago, a group of Chinese scientists discovered the antischistosomal properties of artemether, a derivative of the antimalarial drug artemisinin. However, it was only recently that the importance of this finding was recognized internationally, following a collaborative effort between Chinese, European and African scientists, who investigated ...

Discrepancies in Outcome of a Control Program for Schistosomiasis Haematobia in Fayoum Governorate, Egypt

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1986
A large scale mollusciciding and chemotherapy program in the Fayoum area of Egypt was reported to have decreased prevalence of schistosomiasis haematobia from 46% to 7% in approximately 12 years. In order to assess the uniformity of results reported, we have studied the prevalence and intensity of urinary tract disease in a random sample of children ...
