Multihost Transmission of Schistosoma mansoni in Senegal, 2015–2018 (2020)
Journal Article
Catalano, S., Léger, E., Fall, C. B., Borlase, A., Diop, S. D., Berger, D., …Webster, J. P. (2020). Multihost Transmission of Schistosoma mansoni in Senegal, 2015–2018. Emerging Infectious Disease, 26(6), https://doi.org/10.3201/eid2606.200107

In West Africa, Schistosoma spp. are capable of infecting multiple definitive hosts, a lifecycle feature that may complicate schistosomiasis control. We characterized the evolutionary relationships among multiple Schistosoma mansoni isolates collecte... Read More about Multihost Transmission of Schistosoma mansoni in Senegal, 2015–2018.

Rodents of Senegal and their role as intermediate hosts of Hydatigera spp. (Cestoda: Taeniidae) (2018)
Journal Article
Catalano, S., Bâ, K., Diouf, N., Léger, E., Verocai, G., & Webster, J. P. (2018). Rodents of Senegal and their role as intermediate hosts of Hydatigera spp. (Cestoda: Taeniidae). Parasitology, 146(3), 299-304. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182018001427

Hydatigera (Cestoda: Taeniidae) is a recently resurrected genus including species seldom investigated in sub-Saharan Africa. We surveyed wild small mammal populations in the areas of Richard Toll and Lake Guiers, Senegal, with the objective to evalua...

Rodents as natural hosts of zoonotic Schistosoma species and hybrids: an epidemiological and evolutionary perspective from West Africa (2018)
Journal Article
Catalano, S., Sène, M., Diouf, N. D., Fall, C. B., Borlase, A., Léger, E., …Webster, J. P. (2018). Rodents as natural hosts of zoonotic Schistosoma species and hybrids: an epidemiological and evolutionary perspective from West Africa. Journal of Infectious Diseases, 218(3), 429-433. https://doi.org/10.1093/infdis/jiy029

The complex multi-host disease dynamics of schistosomiasis and Schistosoma spp., including the emergence of zoonotic parasite hybrids, remain largely unexplored in West Africa. We elucidated the role of wild small mammals as reservoir for zoonotic Sc...
