schistosomiasis mansoni in an area of low transmission. i. impact of control measures.	this work was undertaken in the municipality of pedro de toledo (são paulo state, brazil) in 1987, to clarify aspects related to the transmission levels of schistosoma mansoni in a human population where the snail host is biomphalaria tenagophila. since 1980 a control programme has been undertaken in this municipality. urban and rural populations (4,719 subjects) were submitted to faecal examinations (kato-katz method). the overall prevalence rate was 4.8% being higher in males (6.2%) and also i ...	1991	1844388
biological and morphological characteristics of schistosoma mansoni from ribeira valley, state of são paulo, brazil i--susceptibility of biomphalaria tenagophila snail to sympatric s. mansoni strain.	in the são paulo state, brazil, where the biomphalaria tenagophila is the intermediate host, the ribeira valley is an important endemic schistosomiasis mansoni area. during last eleven years there has been intense control measures focusing on schistosomiasis. the efforts have been concentrated in the municipalities of pedro de toledo and itariri. we determined the susceptibility of b. tenagophila to sympatric strain of s. mansoni, both recently isolated from itariri field. in 1988, this strain w ...	1992	1342070
[control of schistosomiasis mansoni in an area of low transmission].	the schistosomiasis is transmitted by biomphalaria tenagophila in our study area (pedro de toledo, são paulo, brazil). from 1980 to 1990 epidemiological surveys in a population of 4,000 inhabitants, has shown that: prevalences by kato-katz (kkt), immunofluorescence (ft) and intradermal (idt) techniques were 22.8%, 55.5% and 51.8%, respectively; intensity of infection was low, 58.5 eggs per gram of faeces (epg); there were no symptomatic cases; prevalences were higher in mates, children and rural ...	1992	1343901
