Schistosomiasis in infants and preschool-aged children: Infection in a single Schistosoma haematobium and a mixed S. haematobium-S. mansoni foci of Niger. haematobium and S. mansoni. In the context of schistosomiasis control, more attention should be paid on preschool-aged children and women of...
This species belongs to the unique group of trematodes, where male and females live as adults lifelong (up to 20 years) closely united together, whereby the male worm keeps the female hidden inside a furrow formed by the evolving lateral sides of its flattened body. This construction is also...
Two tables and a figure are used to present the epidemiological and epizoological particulars of Bulinus globosus and Lymnaea natalensis, the intermediate hosts of Schistosoma haematobium and Fasciola gigantica in Southeastern Nigeria. Possible ways of reducing the populations of these intermediate hosts ...

In this regard, it is critical to clearly understand the epidemiology of parasites and their intermediate hosts. Schistosoma parasites are found as adult worms in the vascular system of humans and other mammals. The eggs produced by adult worms of S. haematobium or S. mansoni are excreted in ...
In a longitudinal study, children with active Schistosoma haematobium and A. lumbricoides infection had in their CD4+ T cell DNA methylation signatures concordant with an inhibition of the Th1 immune phenotype. For schistosomiasis, but not ascariasis, six months after anti-helminthic treatment, the...
In Kenya, studies on HRQOL have been conducted among various populations such as children in Schistosoma haematobium-endemic areas [30], people living with irrigation schemes [31], women living in informal settlements [32], patients undergoing antiretroviral treatment [33,34,35], patients on mainte...
