Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of sampling effort and the performance of the Kato-Katz technique in diagnosing Schistosoma mansoni and hookworm co-infections in rural Côte d'Ivoire.
TL;DR: If confirmed in other settings, these findings have implications for estimating the prevalence of multiple species helminth infections, and hence the design and implementation of efficacious and cost-effective control programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative contribution of day-to-day and intra-specimen variation in faecal egg counts of Schistosoma mansoni before and after treatment with praziquantel.
TL;DR: Diagnostic sensitivity in high transmission areas is maximized by making several stool readings on several days, but examining 1 stool specimen several times can make reasonable estimates of infection intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Periportal Fibrosis in Human Schistosoma mansoni Infection Is Associated with Low IL-10, Low IFN-γ, High TNF-α, or Low RANTES, Depending on Age and Gender
Mark Booth,Joseph K. Mwatha,Sarah Joseph,Frances M. Jones,Hilda Kadzo,Edmund Ireri,Frances Kazibwe,Jovanice Kemijumbi,Curtis H. Kariuki,Gachuhi Kimani,John H. Ouma,Narcis B. Kabatereine,Birgitte J. Vennervald,David W. Dunne +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that periportal fibrosis is associated with cytokine production profiles that vary with both age and gender.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global change, parasite transmission and disease control: lessons from ecology
Joanne Cable,Iain Barber,Brian Boag,Amy Ellison,Eric R. Morgan,Kris A. Murray,Emily L. Pascoe,Steven M. Sait,Anthony J. Wilson,Mark Booth +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence regarding potential effects of ‘system changes’ on parasite transmission from wild host–parasite systems is highlighted and synthesized to support robust predictions of altered parasite dynamics in a rapidly changing world.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prophylactic effects of artemether against Schistosoma japonicum infections.
TL;DR: The results of laboratory tests and field trials of artemether against schistosomiasis in China are reviewed, finding that the drug is effective in reducing the number of infections across the country.
