1
Urine samples of participants were examined for Schistosoma haematobium eggs with a single urine filtration.
2
Infections with Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni were diagnosed with the urine filtration and the Kato-Katz method respectively.
3
Here the role of miracidial behaviour in host specificity of Schistosoma haematobium on the islands of Zanzibar is investigated.
4
We assessed whether bladder pathology in human Schistosoma haematobium infection is related to the balance of Th17 cells and Tregs.
5
We tested for hematuria using urine dipsticks and searched for Schistosoma haematobium eggs in urine and S. mansoni eggs in stools.
6
Background: Human urogenital schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium is widely distributed across Africa and is increasingly targeted for control and regional elimination.
7
In schistosomiasis elimination programs, successful discrimination of Schistosoma haematobium from the related animal Schistosoma parasites will be essential for accurate detection of human parasite transmission.
8
In this review, we examine the development and validation of simple school questionnaires for screening communities for Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni rapidly and inexpensively.
