Background The control of schistosomiasis is particularly difficult in sub-Saharan Africa,which currently harbours 95%of this disease.The target population for preventive chemotherapy(PC)is expanded to all age group a...
Background Freshwater snails of the genera Bulinus spp.,Biomphalaria spp.,and Oncomelania spp.are the main intermediate hosts of human and animal schistosomiasis.Identification of these snails has long been based on m...
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Alstonia congensis green-synthesized nanoparticles as a molluscicide against snail hosts of trematodes.Methods:The ethanolic leaf extract of Alstonia congensis was used to synthes...
Background: Bulinus globosus,the main intermediate snail host of Schistosoma haematobium.The increased contacts between Africa and China could even lead to large-scale dissemination of B.globosus in China.Temperature ...
Background Researching a water-borne disease in the middle of the Sahara desert might not seem the most relevant concern.However,nomadic Sahelian pastoralists health concerns regarding their livestock and anecdotal re...

Background:Control of snail intermediate hosts has been proved to be a fast and efficient approach for interrupting the transmission of schistosomiasis.Some plant extracts have shown obvious molluscicidal activity,and...
The writing of this review was made possible through the post-doctoral fellowship from the University of KwaZulu-Natal,College of Health Sciences that was awarded to Dr.Chester Kalinda。
Background:The speedy rate of change in the environmental and socio-economics factors may increase the incidence,prevalence and risk of schistosomiasis infections in Zambia.However,available information does not provi...
This study is funded as part of the COUNTDOWN research programme consortium,by the Research and Evidence Division of the Department for International Development,UK;The funders had no role in study design,decision to publish,or preparation of the manuscript。
Background:The crater lakes of Barombi Mbo and Barombi Kotto are well-known transmission foci of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis having had several important control initiatives previously.To collec...
The study received financial support from University of KwaZulu-Natal College of Health Sciences through the student scholarship programme,and from United Nations International Children's Fund/United Nations Development Programme/World Bank/World Health Organization Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases;from the Canadian International Development Research Centre through their support towards a Malaria and Bilharzia in Southern Africa project.
Background:Given that increase in temperature may alter host-parasite relationships,the anticipated rise in temperature due to global warming might change transmission patterns of certain diseases.However,the extent t...
