Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular approaches to the identification of Bulinus species in south-west Nigeria and observations on natural snail infections with schistosomes.
O. P. Akinwale,Richard A. Kane,David Rollinson,J. R. Stothard,M. B. Ajayi,D.O. Akande,M.O. Ogungbemi,C. Duker,P. V. Gyang,Monsuru A. Adeleke +9 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the majority of Bulinus samples tested belonged to the species Bulinus truncatus while only two were Bulinus globosus, and Sequencing of the partial schistosome its from a small subset of snail samples suggested that some snails were either penetrated by both Schistosoma haematobium and SchistOSoma bovis miracidia or hybrid miracidia formed from the two species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of schistosomes polymerase chain reaction amplified DNA by oligochromatographic dipstick.
O. P. Akinwale,Thierry Laurent,Pascal Mertens,Thierry Leclipteux,David Rollinson,Richard A. Kane,Aidan M. Emery,M. B. Ajayi,D.O. Akande,T.W. Fesobi +9 more
TL;DR: A simple and rapid method for the detection of Schistosoma haematobium and Schisto- mansoni PCR amplified DNA products using oligochromatographic (OC) dipstick is applied.
Journal Article
Urinary Schistosomiasis around Oyan Reservoir, Nigeria: Twenty Years after the First Outbreak
O. P. Akinwale,M. B. Ajayi,D.O. Akande,P. V. Gyang,Monsuru A. Adeleke,Adeniyi K. Adeneye,MO Adebayo,A A Dike +7 more
TL;DR: Abule Tuntun et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the current status of Schistosoma haematobium infection around the Oyan reservoir, carried out between October 2006 and March 2008.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sociocultural aspects of mass delivery of praziquantel in schistosomiasis control: the Abeokuta experience.
Adeniyi K. Adeneye,O. P. Akinwale,Emmanuel Taiwo Idowu,Babatunde Adewale,OU Manafa,M.A. Sulyman,B.D. Omotola,D.O. Akande,MA Mafe,B. Appelt +9 more
TL;DR: Obtaining community support and involvement before the implementation of mass treatment of schistosomiasis with praziquantel contributes to an effective treatment strategy for this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of schistosoma haematobium infection in a neglected community, south western Nigeria
O. P. Akinwale,M. B. Ajayi,D.O. Akande,Monsuru A. Adeleke,P. V. Gyang,Adeniyi K. Adeneye,A A Dike +6 more
TL;DR: There was a high prevalence of S. haematobium infection as detected by PCR amplification of schistosome Dra1 repeat from the urine and blood samples of the study participants, and the PCR was able to detect schistOSome infection in cases otherwise shown to be negative by parasitological examinations.
