Comparison of Kato Katz, antibody-based ELISA and droplet digital PCR diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica: Lessons learnt from a setting of low infection intensity. [PDF]
Background Zoonotic schistosomiasis in Asia, caused by Schistosoma japonicum, remains a major public health concern in China and the Philippines. The developing epidemiological and socio-economic picture of the disease in endemic areas necessitates the ...

Metrics to guide development of machine learning algorithms for malaria diagnosis [PDF]
Automated malaria diagnosis is a difficult but high-value target for machine learning (ML), and effective algorithms could save many thousands of children's lives. However, current ML efforts largely neglect crucial use case constraints and are thus not clinically useful.

Spatio-temporal transmission and environmental determinants of Schistosomiasis Japonica in Anhui Province, China. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Schistosomiasis japonica still remains of public health and economic significance in China, especially in the lake and marshland areas along the Yangtze River Basin, where the control of transmission has proven difficult.

Morpho-anatomical characterization of the urogenital schistosmiasis vector Bulinus truncatus (Audouin, 1827) (Heterobranchia : Bulinidae) from Southwestern Europe [PDF]
Urogenital schistosomiasis has been present naturally in the South of Europe since the beginning of the 20 th century and nowadays its presence is also known, at least imported by Sub-Saharan emigrants and tourists, in France, Italy, Portugal and Spain.

Building Flyweight FLIM-based CNNs with Adaptive Decoding for Object Detection [PDF]
State-of-the-art (SOTA) object detection methods have succeeded in several applications at the price of relying on heavyweight neural networks, which makes them inefficient and inviable for many applications with computational resource constraints.

Schistosoma japonicum EKLF/KLF1 is a potential immune target to tackle schistosomiasis
Background Interruption of parasite reproduction by targeting migrating schistosomula is a promising strategy for managing schistosomiasis. Hepatic schistosomula proteins previously identified based on second-generation schistosome DNA sequencing were ...

Schistosoma mansoni cercariae exploit an elastohydrodynamic coupling to swim efficiently [PDF]
The motility of many parasites is critical for the infection process of their host, as exemplified by the transmission cycle of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. In their human infectious stage, immature, submillimetre-scale forms of the parasite known as cercariae swim in freshwater and infect humans by penetrating through the skin.
