Cercarial emission of schistosomes is a determinant in the transmission to definitive host and constitutes good marker identify which responsible for transmission, mainly introgressive hybridization situations. Our goal was test hypothesis that micro-mammals play role Schistosoma haematobium, S. bovis, and/or haematobium x bovis transmission. Small mammal sampling conducted seven semi-lacustrine villages southern Benin. Among 62 animals trapped, 50 individuals were investigated adults eggs:...
Background National mapping of soil-transmitted helminth infections (STH) was conducted for the first time in all 77 districts Benin (West Africa) from 2013 to 2015. This aimed provide basic epidemiological data essential implementation national strategy against neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) context achieving WHO target controlling these by 2020. Methods In each district, 5 schools were purposively selected villages and 50 school-children (25 girls 25 boys) ages 8 14 years randomly...
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease of public health significance. In view its elimination as problem by 2030, adopting One Health approach necessary, considering multidimensional nature. Animal reservoirs, in particular, pose significant threat to schistosomiasis control Africa and beyond. this study, we conducted spatio-temporal survey Schistosoma infections small mammal communities intermediate snail hosts the vicinity Lake Guiers northern Senegal. Sampling campaigns were...
Schistosomiasis is of medical and veterinary importance. Despite the critical situation schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa, few molecular epidemiological studies have been carried out to determine role animals its transmission. In Mali, it has over three decades since last study animal schistosomes was out. It now urgent identify circulating strains parasite because potential interactions with other schistosome species, which could complicate disease control. The aim our work composition...
Mali is known to be a schistosomiasis-endemic country with limited supply of clean water. This has forced many communities rely on open freshwater bodies for human-water contact (HWC) activities. However, the relationship between these water systems and level schistosome infection currently receiving attention. study assessed interactions including cercarial emergence pattern their influences urinary schistosomiasis transmission in two Kayes district Mali.
