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 ...

Prevalence and Infection Intensity of Soil‐Transmitted Helminths and Schistosomiasis Among Preschool Children in Mainland Tanzania

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) and schistosomiasis (SCH) are significant public health concerns in Tanzania, known to impair cognitive and physical development in young children. To effectively guide control programs, a comprehensive understanding of their current prevalence and intensity is essential.

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.

Exploring the Anthelmintic, Antioxidant, and Cytotoxic Potential of Khaya grandifoliola and Faidherbia albida Extract Combinations: In Vitro Studies on Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Caenorhabditis elegans

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Soil‐transmitted helminth infection is endemic in Chad and constitutes a public health problem, particularly among school‐age children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the synergistic anthelmintic activity of the combined extracts of Khaya grandifoliola and Faidherbia albida used in Chad by traditional practitioners for the treatment ...

Molluscicidal Activity of Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) and Camellia sinensis var. Assamica (Purple Tea) Extracts Against Biomphalaria pfeifferi, the Major Vector Snail of Human Schistosomiasis in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Freshwater pulmonate snails are prevalent across Kenya and act as intermediate hosts for trematode parasites, some of which are snail vectors for human schistosomiasis. Chemical molluscicides have rarely been used routinely in Kenya to control snails due to high costs of manufacture and the subsequent environmental concerns associated with their use ...

Effect of maternal Schistosoma mansoni infection and praziquantel treatment during pregnancy on Schistosoma mansoni infection and immune responsiveness among offspring at age five years.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
IntroductionOffspring of Schistosoma mansoni-infected women in schistosomiasis-endemic areas may be sensitised in-utero. This may influence their immune responsiveness to schistosome infection and schistosomiasis-associated morbidity.

Schistosomiasis Burden and Its Association With Lower Measles Vaccine Responses in School Children From Rural Cameroon

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Background and Methods: Schistosomiasis is debilitating and reported to impair immune responsiveness of infected hosts. In Cameroon, mass drug administration (MDA) is used in schoolchildren to reduce transmission of S. haematobium and S. mansoni.

Signaling via interleukin-4, receptor alpha chain is required for successful vaccination against schistosomiasis in BALB/c mice [PDF]

, 2001
Radiation-attenuated (RA) schistosome larvae are potent stimulators of innate immune responses at the skin site of exposure (pinna) that are likely to be important factors in the development of Th1-mediated protective immunity.

Piplartine as an Innovative Natural Product With Dual Antiparasitic and Immunomodulatory Actions

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health burden, disproportionately affecting low‐ and middle‐income regions and demanding innovative therapeutic strategies. This review summarizes current evidence on piplartine (piperlongumine), a naturally occurring amide from Piper species with broad antiparasitic and immunomodulatory ...
