TL;DR: The high seroprevalence recorded is an indication of high transmission with the consequent risk of visceral or ocular larval migrans and neurologic toxocariasis in these children, and the need for prompt interventional measures, particularly health education on personal hygiene.

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.

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.

TL;DR: There is relatively high prevalence of malaria parasite among the blood donors and this calls for the attention of the authority concern that blood donors should also be screened for malaria parasite before such bloods are transfused to avert its consequences on the recipients.

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.
