The relationship between water, sanitation and schistosomiasis : a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Access to "safe" water and "adequate" sanitation are emphasized as important measures for schistosomiasis control. Indeed, the schistosomes' lifecycles suggest that their transmission may be reduced through safe water and adequate sanitation.

Experimental Chemotherapy of Schistosomiasis mansoni [PDF]

, 1968
In mice experimentally infected with Schistosoma mansoni, praziquantel (2-cyclohexylcarbonyl-1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrazino[2,1-a]isoquinoline-4-one), administered orally at the levels of 100 and 50 mg/kg, for 5 consecutive days, produced oogram changes in all animals and a pronounced hepatic shift of schistosomes (97.1 and 89.1, respectively).

Fluorescence/luminescence-based markers for the assessment of Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula drug assays [PDF]

, 2015
Schistosomiasis is responsible for a tremendous public health burden, yet only a single drug, praziquantel, is available. New antischistosomal treatments should therefore be developed. The accuracy, speed and objectivity of in vitro drug screening depend

A spectral analysis of the myoelectric activity of the left colon in patients with schistosomiasis mansoni

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
The objective of the present study was to perform a spectral analysis of the electrical activity of the left colon of patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. Thirty patients were studied, divided into 2 groups: group A was composed of 14 patients (9

Schistosomiasis Mansoni in Yemen: A Review

Annals of Saudi Medicine, 1992
Schistosomiasis is a major public health problem in Yemen. In 1922 Schistosomiasis mansoni was first reported to be found in Yemeni patients. In 1951 the first population survey was carried out in Taiz and revealed the presence of Biomphalaria biossyi arabica where 35% of the snails were heavily infected with S.

The effect of simulating different intermediate host snail species on the link between water temperature and schistosomiasis risk. [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: A number of studies have attempted to predict the effects of climate change on schistosomiasis risk. The importance of considering different species of intermediate host snails separately has never previously been explored.

Praziquantel: its use in control of schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa and current research needs [PDF]

, 2009
Treatment with praziquantel (PZQ) has become virtually the sole basis of schistosomiasis control in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere, and the drug is reviewed here in the context of the increasing rate that it is being used for this purpose. Attention is

The roles of water sanitation and hygiene in reducing schistosomiasis : a review [PDF]

, 2015
Schistosomiasis is a disease caused by infection with blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma. Transmission of, and exposure to, the parasite result from faecal or urinary contamination of freshwater containing intermediate host snails, and dermal contact ...
