However, no association between night soil and schistosomiasis was observed in 2010.
2
Risk factors for schistosomiasis were assessed by administering a questionnaire to adults.
3
Advanced liver fibrosis and portal hypertension due to chronic schistosomiasis are irreversible.
4
Though common in tropical regions, schistosomiasis was absent around Lake Malawi until recently.
5
Background: In Mozambique, schistosomiasis is highly endemic across the whole country.
1
There's been an outbreak of bilharzia at a boarding school near Bremer.
2
Most Africans from the lowveld have weak stomachs from having been infected with bilharzia.
3
This water brings disease - bilharzia caused by parasitic worms and diarrhoea which can kill babies.
4
The Nile appeared ahead, the great umbilical of the continent, the giver-taker, provider of flood and fertility, of commerce and bilharzia.
5
She responded by saying "drinking from the Nile will get me schistosomiasis" - a disease commonly known as bilharzia.
1
Some 280,000 people die from snailfever in Africa alone each year.
2
El-Sayed led the team that sequenced the Schistosoma mansoni, one of the two major parasites that cause snailfever.
3
Schistosomiasis or snailfever, which can cause deadly blood loss, affects hundreds of thousands of people in Yemen, for example.
4
They included " snailfever", or schistosomiasis, which is caused by a parasite and leaves people so weak they can't work.
1
Although older children aged 9-11 years had less anemia, they had more detectable malaria, Schistosomainfection, hookworm, and proportionately more non-IDA.

1
These findings are discussed with regard to current understanding of human immune responses to schistosomeinfection.
2
Protective immunity against human schistosomeinfection develops slowly, for reasons that are not yet fully understood.
3
Hepatic fibrosis is the main cause of increased morbidity and mortality in humans with schistosomeinfection.
4
Splenomegaly is a characteristic symptom of schistosomeinfection, and splenic abnormality may promote the progression of hepatic fibrosis.
5
Whether the treatment will impact upon the offspring's responses on exposure to primary schistosomeinfection remains to be elucidated.
6
Schistosomeinfection begins with the penetration of cercariae through healthy unbroken host skin.
7
Background: Schistosomeinfections are often clinically silent, but some individuals develop severe pathological reactions.
8
These assays and tools also have future potential for use in detection of schistosomeinfections in humans and livestock.
9
Schistosomeinfection of these patients and controls was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay that detected circulating anodic antigen in serum.
10
However, responses to schistosomeinfections, and candidate vaccines, are likely to be different among people from endemic settings compared to schistosome-naïve Dutch volunteers.
11
The ability of the host to modulate the granulomatous response around ova trapped in tissues determines the severity of disease to schistosomeinfections.
