the epidemiology of schistosomiasis in egypt: qalyubia governorate.	the primary objectives of this study, carried out in qalyubia governorate in egypt (south-central nile delta), were to continue tracking historical trends of infection prevalence of schistosoma mansoni and s. haematobium, determine whether satellites (ezbas) of mother villages differed significantly with respect to schistosomiasis transmission, and to asses schistosomiasis-induced morbidity on a population basis using ultrasonography. our study revealed that s. haematobium has virtually disappea ...	2000	10813500
mapping of schistosoma mansoni in the nile delta, egypt: assessment of the prevalence by the circulating cathodic antigen urine assay.	in line with who recommendations on elimination of schistosomiasis, accurate identification of all areas of residual transmission is a key step to design and implement measures aimed at interrupting transmission in low-endemic settings. to this purpose, we assessed the prevalence of active s. mansoni infection in five pilot governorates in the nile delta of egypt by examining schoolchildren (6-15 years) using the urine-circulating cathodic antigen (urine-cca) cassette test; we also carried out t ...	2017	27965144
