Sensitivity and Specificity of Multiple Kato-Katz Thick Smears and a Circulating Cathodic Antigen Test for Schistosoma mansoni Diagnosis Pre- and Post-repeated-Praziquantel Treatment [PDF]

, 2014
Two Kato-Katz thick smears (Kato-Katzs) from a single stool are currently recommended for diagnosing Schistosoma mansoni infections to map areas for intervention. This ‘gold standard’ has low sensitivity at low infection intensities.

The effects of subcurative praziquantel treatment on life-history traits and trade-offs in drug-resistant Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]

, 2016
Natural selection acts on all organisms, including parasites, to maximise reproductive fitness. Drug resistance traits are often associated with life-history costs in the absence of treatment.

Seroepidemioplogy of schistosomiasis mansoni [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
In population surveys in which the Schistosoma mansoni intensity of infection is low, or in localities where the schistosomiasis control program had success, the parasitologic methods lack in sensitivity. Despite of some limitations, the immunological methods are useful to provide valuable information in such field conditions.
