@article { , title = {HIV and schistosomiasis co-infection in African children}, abstract = {HIV/AIDS and schistosomiasis both cause a substantial disease burden in sub-Saharan Africa and the two diseases often overlap in their epidemiological characteristics. Although disease-specific control interventions are continuing, potential synergies in the control efforts for these two diseases have not been investigated. With a focus on children with schistosomiasis, we assess the risk for increased HIV transmission, HIV progression, and impaired response to drugs when given alongside HIV interventions. A new research agenda tailored to children is needed to better understand the interactions of these two diseases and the potential for combined responses.}, doi = {10.1016/S1473-3099(14)70001-5}, issue = {7}, journal = {Lancet Infectious Disease}, pages = {640-649}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://rvc-repository.worktribe.com/output/1405756}, volume = {14}, keyword = {Pathogen Flow in Ecosystems, ePrints migration}, author = {Bustinduy, A and King, C and Scott, J and Appleton, S and Sousa-Figueiredo, J C and Betson, M and Stothard, J R} }
