Sustaining control of schistosomiasis mansoni in moderate endemicity areas in western Côte d'Ivoire : a SCORE study protocol [PDF]

, 2014
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that occurs in the tropics and subtropics. The mainstay of control is preventive chemotherapy with praziquantel. In Africa, an estimated 230 million people require preventive chemotherapy.

Effect of praziquantel treatment of Schistosoma mansoni during pregnancy on intensity of infection and antibody responses to schistosome antigens: results of a randomised, placebo-controlled trial. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Praziquantel treatment of schistosomiasis during pregnancy was only recommended in 2002; hence the effects of treatment during pregnancy are not fully known. We have therefore evaluated the effects on infection intensity and the immunological

Effects of Video‐Based Health Education on Birth Outcomes and Anaemia Status of Mothers in Dirashe District South Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Undernutrition and infections during pregnancy result in low birth weight (LBW) and maternal anaemia. Social behaviour change communication (SBCC) can promote recommended health practices, potentially improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Reduction of testosterone levels in Schistosoma haematobium- or Schistosoma mansoni-infected men: a cross-sectional study in two schistosomiasis-endemic areas of the Adamawa region of Cameroon

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background The incidence of schistosomiasis‐induced male reproductive dysfunction and infertility is probably underestimated compared to female genital schistosomiasis. This study aimed to investigate the impact of Schistosoma haematobium or S.

Single‐Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Unveil Key Regulators Governing Cell Differentiation for Schistosoma japonicum Sexual Development

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 53, 24 September 2026.
Using single‐cell and spatial transcriptomics, we identified key regulators that govern cell differentiation involved in parasite development and egg laying in Schistosoma japonicum. This comprehensive study establishes a foundational resource for understanding schistosome biology, deciphers the regulatory programs underlying cell differentiation and ...

The effect of increasing water temperatures on Schistosoma mansoni transmission and Biomphalaria pfeifferi population dynamics: an agent-based modelling study. [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: There is increasing interest in the control and elimination of schistosomiasis. Little is known, however, about the likely effects of increasing water-body temperatures on transmission. METHODS: We have developed an agent-based model of the

Unusual Spinal Epidural and Paraspinal Venous Engorgement Secondary to Hepatosplenic Schistosomiasis: A Rare Cause of Severe Low Back Pain

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Severe low back pain from spinal epidural and paraspinal venous engorgement secondary to hepatosplenic schistosomiasis is rare. MRI revealed dilated epidural veins and neural foraminal narrowing. The patient was managed conservatively with analgesia and carvedilol for portal hypertension and subsequently experienced complete resolution of back

Enhancing control of schistosomiasis in Niger : assessing morbidity in preschool-aged children, praziquantel treatment efficacy and cost implication for control [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Schistosomiasis, accounted among the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), represents a major public health problem, particularly in Africa, where more than 95% of all the cases of the world are currently concentrated.
