Genetic Diversity and Ecological Distribution of Bulinus Populations in Southern Benin Using PCR‐RFLP Analysis

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Schistosomiasis remains a major public health concern in Benin. Freshwater snails of the genus Bulinus serve as intermediate hosts for schistosomes, trematode parasites responsible for bilharzia. The urinary form, caused by Schistosoma haematobium, is the most prevalent and is primarily transmitted by Bulinus truncatus and Bulinus globosus, whereas the

Soil‐Transmitted Helminthes (STHs) and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria Amongst Preschool Children in the Bosomtwe District of Ghana

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) and urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose major public health challenges, especially in regions with poor healthcare access, inadequate sanitation, and limited clean water supply. When these two conditions recur, they can cause stunted growth in children between 24 and 59 months of age, a vital phase for physical ...

Efficacy and safety of moxidectin, synriam, synriam-praziquantel versus praziquantel against schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni infections: a randomized, exploratory phase 2 trial [PDF]

, 2016
Schistosomiasis affects millions of people, yet treatment options are limited. The antimalarial Synriam (piperaquine 150 mg/arterolane 750 mg) and the anthelminthic moxidectin revealed promising antischistosomal properties in preclinical or clinical ...

Genital schistosomiasis mansoni concomitant to genital tumor in areas of low endemicity: challenging diagnosis

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Genital infection by Schistosoma mansoni is usually misdiagnosed in individuals who reside in, or travel to endemic areas. We describe two cases of genital tumor associated with S. mansoni infection manifested by methrorragy.

Prevalence of Malaria and Soil‐Transmitted Helminths and Associated Factors Among Pregnant Women Visiting Mizan‐Tepi University Teaching Hospital, Southwest Ethiopia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The most common parasitic diseases in underdeveloped countries, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), are malaria and soil‐transmitted helminth (STH) infection, which primarily affect pregnant women and children under five. Objective To determine the prevalence and associated factors of malaria and STH infections among pregnant women at ...

Praziquantel analogs with activity against juvenile Schistosoma mansoni.

, 2010
Six amide and four urea derivatives of praziquantel were synthesized and tested for antischistosomal activity against juvenile and adults stages of Schistosoma mansoni in infected mice. Only one of these had significant activity against adult worms, but,

An in-depth analysis of a piece of shit : distribution of Schistosoma mansoni and hookworm eggs in human stool [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: An accurate diagnosis of helminth infection is important to improve patient management. However, there is considerable intra- and inter-specimen variation of helminth egg counts in human feces.

Unveiling the Silent Regulators: Noncoding RNAs in Parasitic Disease Diagnosis and Therapy

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Parasitic diseases remain a major global health burden, particularly in tropical and low‐resource regions, where limitations in early diagnosis and effective therapeutics contribute to high morbidity and mortality. Emerging evidence highlights noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) as critical regulators of host–parasite interactions, offering novel opportunities for

Studies on coinfections with Schistosoma mansoni and Leischmania [PDF]

Schistosomiasis and visceral leishmaniasis, each responsible for serious morbidity and mortality, also have overlapping endemicities e. g. in the Sudan. Both cause granulomatous responses in the liver.
