Human Schistosomiasis.
Daniel G. Colley,Amaya L. Bustinduy,Evan Secor,Charles H. King +3 more
TL;DR: Human schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma spp., infects at least 230 million people worldwide, inducing granulomatous responses, local and systemic pathological effects, and morbidity, necessitating preventive measures and more sensitive diagnostics for elimination.

Webster,Jean-François Allienne,Tine Huyse,Tine Huyse,Santiago Mas-Coma,Eve Toulza,Hélène Barré-Cardi,David Rollinson,Julien Kincaid-Smith,Ana Oleaga,Richard Galinier,Joséphine Foata,Anne Rognon,Antoine Berry,Gabriel Mouahid,Rémy Henneron,Hélène Moné,Harold Noel,Guillaume Mitta +20 more
TL;DR: The molecular data suggest that the parasites were imported into Corsica by individuals infected in west Africa, specifically Senegal, and hybridisation between S haematobium and the cattle schistosome S bovis had a putative role in this outbreak.

Jack Et T. Grimes,David Croll,David Croll,Wendy Harrison,Jürg Utzinger,Jürg Utzinger,Matthew C. Freeman,Michael R. Templeton +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that people with safe water and adequate sanitation have significantly lower odds of a Schistosoma infection and future research directions in this area are highlighted.

TL;DR: Parts of phero-perception, stress responses, immune function and regulation of gene expression that support the persistence of B. glabrata are described and several potential targets for developing novel control measures aimed at reducing snail-mediated transmission of schistosomiasis are identified.

Worms: Identifying Impacts on Education and Health in the Presence of Treatment Externalities
Edward Miguel,Michael Kremer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate a Kenyan project in which school-based mass treatment with deworming drugs was randomly phased into schools, rather than to individuals, allowing estimation of overall program effects.
Schistosomiasis and water resources development: systematic review, meta-analysis, and estimates of people at risk
TL;DR: It is concluded that the development and management of water resources is an important risk factor for schistosomiasis, and hence strategies to mitigate negative effects should become integral parts in the planning, implementation, and operation of future water projects.

Effects of improved water supply and sanitation on ascariasis diarrhoea dracunculiasis hookworm infection schistosomiasis and trachoma.
TL;DR: Sanitation facilities decreased diarrhoea morbidity and mortality and the severity of hookworm infection, and child mortality fell by 55%, which suggests that water and sanitation have a substantial impact on child survival.

TL;DR: It is concluded that schistosomiasis remains an important public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa and the mortality rates due to non-functioning kidney and haematemesis at 150000 and 130000 per year are estimated.
