Schistosoma mansoni is a water-borne parasite of humans, and belongs to the group of blood flukes (Schistosoma). (wikipedia.org)
In epidemiological studies, many data are conflicting with some reporting protective effects against malaria for Ascaris lumbricoides and Schistosoma haematobium while infection with hookworm or S. mansoni may increase the incidence of malaria and worsen pathology. (biomedcentral.com)
Sequence conservation among S. haematobium, S. japonicum, and S. mansoni is relatively high, thus it should now be possible to identify markers that are universal among Schistosoma species (i.e., using DNA sequences conserved among species) , as well as other markers that are specific to species or species-groups (i.e., using DNA sequences that differ among species). (biomedcentral.com)
We have now developed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays for identifying Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium to facilitate large-scale evaluation of post-intervention transmission potential. (huji.ac.il)

For communities living near lakes and rivers in the Great Rift Valley, this chronic irritation is often caused by infection with a parasite, Schistosoma haematobium , which infects a vast number of people in the region. (who.int)
Schistosomiasis13
Schistosomiasis is an endemic parasitic disease caused by Schistosoma worms having freshwater snails as intermediate hosts. (biota.org.br)
All these factors together will not only greatly increase the sustainability and impact of this project, but we believe that this community-centred eco-biosocial approach is the (only) way forward to effectively reduce and ultimately eliminate neglected zoonotic diseases like schistosomiasis and fascioliasis. (swisstph.ch)

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by several species of worms belonging to the genus Schistosoma. (uga.edu)
Schistosomiasis is an acute and chronic parasitic disease caused by blood flukes (trematoda flat worms) of genus Schistosoma .FGS is mostly caused by the presence of S.haematobium eggs lodged in the female reproductive tract. (researchkey.net)
Schistosomiasis (also called bilharzia) is a vector- borne disease caused by trematoda flat worms of the genus Schistosoma. (researchkey.net)
I have personally trained the students and fellows involved in this project (Ezra, Marissa, and Loc), and I'm confident that they will succeed in identifying new drugs for schistosomiasis. (experiment.com)
The project SCHISDIMA (Improved diagnostics for schistosomiasis and epidemiology) aims at defining sensitivity and specificity of the POC-CCA in different epidemiological groups in Madagascar, where schistosomiasis is highly endemic and no data regarding the performances of the test are available. (bnitm.de)
With the World Health Organization (WHO) identifying some vector borne diseases (VBDs) as potentially eliminable / eradicable (e.g., onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis), it is timely to evaluate whether current transmission dynamics and control models for such diseases will usefully guide intervention programmes towards their projected endpoints.

Praziquantel2
One goal of the SCORE program is to understand and document whether changes in drug tolerance arise during different drug administration programs, and specific genetic assays are needed to better monitor population structure and potential changes in Schistosoma populations under praziquantel treatment. (biomedcentral.com)
The proposed project aims at achieving a better understanding of how annual distribution of praziquantel to pre- and post-pubertal schoolgirls may prevent FGS. (drugpatentwatch.com)
Clearance of infections and resolution of morbidity were subsequently studied in two phases following systematic anti-STI and anti-schistosoma treatment, respectively. (drugpatentwatch.com)
Microsatellite3
Microsatellite DNA loci are genetic markers in wide use by Schistosoma researchers, but there are few primers available for S. haematobium . (biomedcentral.com)
13,790 primer pairs to amplify unique microsatellite loci in S. haematobium , (available at http://www.cebio.org/projetos/schistosoma-haematobium-genome ). (biomedcentral.com)
About half of the primers in the database of Schistosoma haematobium microsatellite DNA loci should yield amplifiable and easily scored polymorphic markers, thus providing thousands of potential markers. (biomedcentral.com)
Parasites4
Molecular tools, in particular, will allow researchers to determine whether changes in gene frequencies provide insight into the effectiveness of treatment, understand the impacts of treatment on the gene pool and population structure of Schistosoma parasites, and establish whether movement of humans from refugia or non-treated areas introduces new parasites into local populations [ 4 ].
