Environmental DNA for improved detection and environmental surveillance of schistosomiasis
Mita E. Sengupta,Micaela Hellström,H. C. Kariuki,Annette Olsen,Philip Francis Thomsen,Philip Francis Thomsen,Helena Mejer,Eske Willerslev,Mariam T. Mwanje,Henry Madsen,Thomas K. Kristensen,Anna-Sofie Stensgaard,Birgitte J. Vennervald +12 more
TL;DR: EDNA provides a promising tool to substantially improve the environmental surveillance of S. mansoni in freshwater samples by using aquatic eDNA, and could become an essential future component of the schistosomiasis control tool box needed to achieve the goal of elimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-Dependent Reduction of Schistosome Fecundity in Schistosoma haematobium But Not Schistosoma Mansoni Infections in Humans
Alison Agnew,Anthony J. C. Fulford,Mariam T. Mwanje,Kimani Gachuhi,Volker Gutsmann,F. W. Krijger,Robert F. Sturrock,Birgitte J. Vennervald,John H. Ouma,Anthony E. Butterworth,André M. Deelder +10 more
TL;DR: Test of the relationships between a circulating parasite antigen, egg excretion level, host age, and parasite density in Schistosoma mansoni- and S. haematobium-infected populations showed that S. mansoni egg output remains stable irrespective of host age or infection intensity while S.HaematOBium has a substantially reduced egg production with host age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indirect assessment of eosinophiluria in urinary schistosomiasis using eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and eosinophil protein X (EPX)
Claus M. Reimert,John H. Ouma,Mariam T. Mwanje,Philip Magak,Lars Kærgaard Poulsen,Birgitte J. Vennervald,Niels Ørnbjerg Christensen,Arsalan Kharazmi,Klaus Bendtzen +8 more
TL;DR: D detection and quantification of early acute inflammatory reactions using ECP/eosinophils in combination with detection of later stages of bladder pathology using ultrasound may allow for a dynamic evaluation of the pathological process, the morbidity development and post treatment pathological changes in S. haematobium infections.

Using environmental DNA for the detection of Schistosoma mansoni: toward improved environmental surveillance of schistosomiasis
Mita E. Sengupta,Micaela Hellström,H. C. Kariuki,Annette Olsen,Philip Francis Thomsen,Philip Francis Thomsen,Helena Mejer,Eske Willerslev,Eske Willerslev,Eske Willerslev,Mariam T. Mwanje,Henry Madsen,Thomas K. Kristensen,Anna-Sofie Stensgaard,Birgitte J. Vennervald +14 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that eDNA provides a promising new tool to significantly improve the environmental surveillance of S. mansoni and could become an essential future component of the schistosomiasis control tool box needed to achieve the goal of elimination.
