Effect of communal piped water supply on pattern of water use and transmission of schistosomiasis haematobia in an endemic area of Kenya [PDF]

Effect of communal piped water supply on pattern of water use and transmission of schistosomiasis haematobia in an endemic area of Kenya, 2009
An attempt was made to examine the long-term impact of the introduction of communal piped water supply on pattern of water use and transmission of schistosomiasis haematobia in an endemic area of Kenya. In the study area, Mtsangatamu, a control program based on repeated selective mass-chemotherapy had been carried out for 6 years from 1987 to 1993. The

Modelling control of Schistosoma haematobium infection: predictions of the long-term impact of mass drug administration in Africa [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Effective control of schistosomiasis remains a challenging problem for endemic areas of the world. Given knowledge of the biology of transmission and past experience with mass drug administration (MDA) programs, it is important to critically ...

Schistosomiasis haematobia in Mali: prevalence rate in school‐age children as index of endemicity in the community. [PDF]

Tropical Medicine & International Health, 1998
SummaryIn a nationwide survey of schistosomiasis conducted in Mali from 1984 to 1989, 56265 individuals from 323 villages had their urine examined parasitologically using a filtration technique. From a sample of 242 children in 3 villages, aged 7 to 14 years, urine samples were collected and tested for haematuria using reagent strips.

Cercarial Density in the River of an Endemic Area of Schistosomiasis Haematobia in Kenya [PDF]

Cercarial Density in the River of an Endemic Area of Schistosomiasis Haematobia in Kenya
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.
