distribution and ecology of bulinus truncatus in khuzestan, iran.the results of a 5-year study on the distribution and ecology of bulinus truncatus in khuzestan, south-western iran, are described. live snails were found in 4 foci, namely, the main focus, the upper karun river, the lower karkheh river, and the bala rud watershed; in addition, dead snails were found in 3 other foci. the patchy distribution of snails was related to the presence of surface waters and to their chemical composition.monthly observations on the population dynamics of the snails and o ...19685304436
a longitudinal study of endemic urinary schistosomiasis in a small east african community.urological abnormalities caused by schistosoma haematobium are apparently common in east, west and central africa. a community of 1074 persons living in an area of endemic urinary schistosomiasis in rural zanzibar, tanzania, was studied for 2 years to determine the importance of these abnormalities and how they affected patients' health.of the total community, 1004 persons (93.5%) were examined and the over-all prevalence of infection with s. haematobium was 65.1% and infection rates of the orde ...19695307237
metrifonate in urinary schistosomiasis.this paper describes the effect of oral metrifonate, an organophosphorus cholinesterase inhibitor, on schistosoma haematobium infections.the methodology of initial studies in hospital patients and 3 field trials in schoolchildren, using spaced doses ranging from 5 mg to 15 mg per kg of body-weight is detailed.the expected fall in plasma cholinesterase was confirmed. no major side-effects were encountered and minor symptoms were associated with high doses only.the optimum dose was 7.5 mg per kg, ...19695308698
schistosoma haematobium infection in the opossum (didelphis marsupialis): involvement of the urogenital system.investigations of experimental schistosomiasis haematobia have suffered for want of satisfactory mammals in which schistosome infections would establish host-parasite situations more or less comparable with those seen in man. as a consequence, mammals representing different major groups have been exposed to infection by schistosoma haematobium (iran strain) to determine their potential use as models for more detailed investigations. in preliminary studies, 8 american opossums (didelphis marsupia ...19715316850

the parasitic diseases of school children in lagos state, nigeria.a survey of 5,595 primary school children in lagos state showed that most of the children were over-loaded with parasitic infestations which included malaria (37.7%), schistosomiasis (13.4%). ascariasis (74.2%), trichuriasis (75.8%), hookworm (29.5%) and tungiasis (49.5%). multiple infections were observed with about 16.2% harbouring all the causative organisms of the parasitic diseases enumerated above. the high prevalence of parasitic infestations among these children is an index of the commun ...19816111920
abo blood groups in malaria and schistosomiasis haematobium.we sought to determine if there was any relationship between abo blood groups and susceptibility to malaria and urinary schistosomiasis. in epe and outlying villages in south-western nigeria, we examined 681 people for their blood groups, malaria parasitemia and for the presence of schistosoma haematobium eggs in their urine specimens. two hundred and sixty-nine individuals were parasitemic for falciparum malaria, 97 subjects had urinary schistosomiasis and 56 people carried concurrent infection ...19826126100
relation between intensity of schistosoma haematobium infection and clinical haematuria and proteinuria.in an endemic area on lake volta, ghana, urinary blood and protein levels as determined by chemical reagent strips in persons infected with schistosoma haematobium, particularly in children aged between 5 and 14, correlated positively with urinary egg counts. geometric mean s haematobium egg counts were 10 or more times higher in urine specimens with at least 10 mg/dl of protein and detectable haematuria than in those without detectable blood or protein. chemical reagent strips were both specifi ...19836133057
cryoglobulins in schistosoma haematobium infection.the sera of school children with schistosoma haematobium infection were tested for the presence of cold-insoluble immune complexes "the cryoglobulins". two different methods were used: the standard macro-technique and the micro-adaptation technique. on using the standard macro-technique, 40 (32.8%) out of 122 schistosomiasis patients and 6 (7.5%) out of 80 control children were positive for cryoglobulins. using the micro-adaptation technique, the corresponding numbers were 47 (38.5%) and 8 (10%) ...19836136174

[prevalence of schistosoma haematobium schistosomiasis in mayo danaï (north cameroon)].the state of the s. haematobium infection in north cameroon seemed sufficiently well known to regard as negligible the risks involved in planning hydro-agricultural plants. however, a series of field-studies conducted by the authors in one of these sites (semry ii, north of yagoua, in the mayo danaï area) has shown that the spread of this disease varies widely from village to village. it is sometimes absent, and on average, it rarely exceeds 15% of the sample (approximately 4,000 people, spread ...19836138971
a study of some factors influencing the epidemiology of urinary schistosomiasis at ifakara (kilombero district, morogoro region, tanzania).some factors influencing the epidemiology of urinary schistosomiasis were studied at ifakara between 1978 and 1980. ifakara is situated in the fertile plain of the kilombero river in the south-eastern part of tanzania. the overall prevalence of schistosoma haematobium infection among primary school children (6-19 years) in the ifakara agglomeration was 21% (730/3478). the highest prevalence was observed in both sexes in the age group 15-19 years. distinct variations in prevalence were found betw ...19836138972
studies on the epidemiology of schistosomiasis in liberia: the prevalence and intensity of schistosomal infections in bong county and the bionomics of the snail intermediate hosts.urine samples from 3548 individuals residing in six of the eight districts which comprise bong county, liberia, the project area of the bong county agricultural development project (bcadp), and fecal specimens from 3408 of these individuals were examined for schistosome ova. a total of 164 water sites, including rice paddies, were surveyed for schistosome vector snails and monthly changes in snail population density and infection rate were determined in selected water sites. bulinus globosus was ...19836138973
frequency of haematuria and proteinuria among schistosoma haematobium infected children of two communities from liberia and tanzania.the frequencies of haematuria and proteinuria among children of two rural communities with different schistosoma haematobium endemicity from liberia and tanzania were compared. although the prevalence and intensity of s. haematobium infections were lower in the tanzanian community, the frequencies of haematuria and proteinuria were significantly higher when compared to the liberian community. the semi-quantitative dip stick tests for haematuria and proteinuria showed a comparable, good specifici ...19836138974
the impact of schistosomiasis among rural populations in liberia.human infection with schistosoma haematobium and/or schistosoma mansoni is known to be widespread in central liberia, but no information is available about its clinical manifestations or its significance for public health. details of a cross-sectional morbidity study are reported. a sample from hospital out-patients and samples from 3 villages situated in areas with different transmission patterns (lack of transmission, transmission of only s. haematobium and transmission of both s. haematobium ...19836138975
the influence of schistosomiasis on the serum concentrations of retinol and retinol binding protein of a rural population in liberia.121 persons from rural areas of central liberia were examined for possible interactions between helminthic infections and the retinol (vitamin a) and retinol binding protein (= rbp) status. about 2/3 of this mainly adult population had retinol and rbp serum concentrations less than or equal to 400 micrograms/l and less than or equal to 40 micrograms/ml, respectively. only one person had a serum retinol concentration less than 100 micrograms/l which is critical for the appearance of xerophthalmia ...19836138976
a pilot control trial of schistosomiasis in central liberia by mass chemotherapy of target populations, combined with focal application of molluscicide.in an area of high transmission of schistosoma haematobium and s. mansoni in central liberia, populations of five villages and intermediate host snails were surveyed for two years. in three of these villages focal application of molluscicide (niclosamide) in the main transmission sites was combined with mass chemotherapy of a target population representing 76 to 90% of the contamination index. in the two other villages, which served as control, the prevalence indexes remained stable or increased ...19836138977
