Schistosomiasis Chemotherapy, Chemoprevention, and Vaccines: History, Progress, and Priorities

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2024.
Schistosomiasis is a major human disease of public health importance. The goal is to provide an overview of the history and advancements in schistosomiasis chemotherapy, chemoprevention, and vaccine research. Praziquantel is effective against all species of schistosomiasis, but schistosomiasis prevalence has largely remained unaffected, due to ...
