[shigellosis in tananarive (madagascar) i - epidemiologic and clinic features (author's transl)].reviewing 67 cases of human adult shigellosis observed in madagascar, the authors emphasize some epidemiologic and clinic features : high frequency during rainy season, usual dysenteriform aspect or diarrhoeas with fever, hemorragic forms, severity according to anterior state of colon and rectum, severity if cases associated with amoebiasis or schistosomiasis (schistosoma mansoni).1979537491
[pseudo-tumoral manifestations of schistosoma-mansoni bilharziasis observed on madagascar. 93 cases].concerning respectively 93 observations got in the laboratory of "pathology" of the institut pasteur (from 1954 to 1976) and the laboratory of "pathology" of the hospital of befelatanana, tananarive (from 1960 to 1975) the authors would like to point out to the medical doctors the pseudo-tumoral aspects of the bilharziasis due to schistosoma mansoni. 1(0) the pseudo-tumoral aspects of the intestinal bilharziasis are relatively seldom complications of this parasitosis. 2(0) the malignant macrosco ...1978743776
[why compare hepatosplenic bilharziasis in six african countries with the help of ultrasonography? presentation of a who project including madagascar].during a morbidity survey in two endemic foci of hepatosplenic schistosomiasis in the malagasy hauts plateaux (tetikanana, 80 km east of ambositra and lohanosy, in the vicinity of antananarivo), the objectives of a comparative pathology who project are presented. the survey in madagascar was concurrently organized by the ministry of health (bilharziasis central laboratory, dlmt), the parasitology unit of the local pasteur institute and the medical parasitology institute of bonn university, in ge ...19947778949
[intestinal schistosomiasis from schistosoma mansoni in madagascar: extent and center of the endemic].schistosoma mansoni and s. haematobium affect respectively 2 million and 500,000 persons in madagascar. over the past decade, s. mansoni has spread in the central highlands of madagascar, essentially throughout the mid-west and antananarivo plain. to understand this recent change in the epidemiology of s. mansoni, we examined the relationship between its spatial distribution and several host factors, including labour migration, urbanization and water development projects. in the highlands, the d ...199910399598
[relation between shistosoma mansoni and hepatosplenomegalies].although they remain a neglected transmissible disease, affecting mainly people in poor countries, the combined forms of schistosomiasis are second only to malaria as a major parasitic disease. although both urinary and intestinal schistosomiasis are endemic in madagascar, this study focuses only on the intestinal forms. the symptoms may remain unnoticed or be ignored, for the seriousness of intestinal schistosomiasis is due mainly to its hepatosplenic complications.201020350861
ecological studies in madagascar of biomphalaria pfeifferi, intermediate host of schistosoma mansoni. 2. biology and dynamics in the non-endemic area of antananarivo.the region of antananarivo, where schistosomiasis is not yet endemic, is compared to ambositra, a well established focus of s. mansoni, with regard to climate, hydrology and snail habitats. higher mean temperatures and a more pronounced dry season in antananarivo contribute to sometimes less favourable hydrological conditions. biomphalaria is found in very few and limited habitats. population dynamics were followed up in selected habitats and showed ecological parameters comparable to those of t ...1978747438
