Experimental fascioliasis in Australia.
TL;DR: Empirical screening for new and more efficient anthelmintics against F. hepatica has been fairly successful, but has still failed to produce the ideal drug for safe, economic, and preventive medication of fascioliasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermediate host specificity in Schistosoma mansoni.
TL;DR: The weight of current evidence suggests that elicitation or absence of this cellular response resides in the recognition or nonrecognition of the sporocyst as a foreign body as well as the particular frequencies of relevant genes in the populations concerned.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymes in Schistosoma intercalatum and the relative status of the Lower Guinea and Zaire strains of the parasite.
TL;DR: It is concluded that any definite decision on the relative status of the two strains of S. intercalatum is still premature, in the light of what is known about other species of African Schistosoma.

Studies on Schistosoma haematobium in the laboratory. III. Strains from Iran, Mauritius and Ghana.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the retention of the name S. capense is not justified but that very great care is needed in defining the precise source of any strain of S. haematobium.

Water Contact Activities and Prevalence of Schistosomiasis Infection among School-age Children in Communities along an Irrigation Scheme in Rural Northern Ghana

TL;DR: The prevalence of schistosomiasis infection in the irrigation project site is high, and adding praziquantel to albendazole and ivermectin for distribution during the annual mass drug administration for filariasis and onchocerciasis control will be an effective way of reaching all at risk groups in the Kassena-Nankana district.

Schistosomiasis in Nigeria
TL;DR: In this paper, Schistosomiasis in Nigeria is discussed. But the authors focus on the Schisto-malice in Nigeria, and do not discuss the Scho-aliasis in Africa.
Journal Article
The species of the genus Bulinus, intermediate hosts of Schistosoma.
TL;DR: The author comments on the distinguishing characters that have been established for the known Bulinus species and subspecies and summarizes the present knowledge of their distribution and importance as intermediate hosts.
