(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Schistosomiasis remains a global public health challenge, with 93% of the, 237 million infections occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. Though rarely fatal, its recurring nature makes it a lifetime disorder with significant ...
Projecting the long-term impact of school-or community-based mass-treatment interventions for control of Schistosoma infection
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
Schistosomiasis remains a significant health burden in many areas of the world. Morbidity control, focused on
limiting infection intensity through periodic delivery of anti-schistosomal medicines, is the thrust of current ...
