The association between child Schistosoma spp. infections and morbidity in an irrigated rice region in Mali: a localized study (2019)
Journal Article
Mutombo, N., Landouré, A., Young Man, W., Fenwick, A., Dembélé, R., Sacko, M., …McLaws, M. (2019). The association between child Schistosoma spp. infections and morbidity in an irrigated rice region in Mali: a localized study. Acta Tropica, 199, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actatropica.2019.105115

Schistosomiasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases endemic to Mali. There has been insufficient investigation of the morbidity burden in highly endemic irrigated rice areas with the ongoing mass drug administration with praziquantel. In Februa...

Journal Article
Qiu, C., Lu, D., Deng, Y., Zou, H., Liang, Y., & Webster, J. P. (2019). Population genetics of Oncomelania hupensis snails, intermediate hosts of Schistosoma japonium, from emerging, re-emerging or established habitats within China. Acta Tropica, 197, 105048. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actatropica.2019.105048

Schistosomiasis remains one of the world’s most significant neglected tropical diseases, second only to malaria in terms of socioeconomic impact. In 2014, China proposed the goal of schistosomiasis japonicum elimination by 2025. However, one major ch...
