relationships of schistosoma haematobium, hookworm and malarial infections and metrifonate treatment to growth of kenyan school children.relationships of s. haematobium, hookworm and malarial infections to growth 6 months after metrifonate treatment were studied in kenyan primary school children in an area where poor growth, s. haematobium and hookworm were common and malaria was endemic. all children with light-moderate s. haematobium infections (1-500 eggs/10 ml adj) in 4 schools were examined (exam 1), allocated at random to either placebo (mip, n = 198) or metrifonate treatment (mit, n = 201) groups, treated, and examined aga ...19853938925
effect of praziquantel on hematuria and proteinuria in urinary schistosomiasis.in five settlements on lake volta, ghana, 230 persons infected with s. haematobium were treated with either 30 or 40 mg/kg of praziquantel. both treatment regimes gave similar overall cure rates (60%) and reduction in geometric mean egg counts (92%) at a six-month follow-up. in this highly endemic area, 32% of the initial urine specimens were visibly bloody and only 4% remained bloody after treatment. geometric mean egg counts of visibly bloody urine specimens were two to six times higher than n ...19853938926
praziquantel for treatment of schistosomiasis in patients with advanced hepatosplenomegaly.we evaluated praziquantel for therapy of active schistosoma mansoni infection in 15 rural egyptian males with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. criteria for inclusion in this study were two pre-treatment s. mansoni egg counts with a mean of greater than 100 eggs g-1 faeces and an enlarged spleen. fourteen of 15 patients had hepatomegaly, five had ascites, and six had serum albumin below 3 g dl-1. schistosoma haematobium infection (less than 10 eggs ml-1 urine) was present in three patients. praziqu ...19853938936
swamp rice farming: possible effects on endemicity of schistosomiasis mansoni and haematobia in a population in liberia.to obtain a better understanding of the possible influence of swamp rice farming on the patterns of schistosoma mansoni and schistosoma haematobium infections, the populations of two communities in rural liberia were studied. in one village, balama (population of 435), swamp rice farms were initiated six years before the survey; in the other nearby community, gbarta (population of 216), swamp rice farms had not yet been initiated. the prevalence of s. mansoni infection in balama was 87% vs. 9% i ...19853970302
regression of splenomegaly and hepatomegaly in children treated for schistosoma haematobium infection.during a study in kenya of the relationships between schistosoma haematobium infection and anemia and growth, evidence was found to suggest that this infection was associated with splenomegaly in children, and that both splenomegaly and hepatomegaly regressed in children treated for urinary schistosomiasis, compared with a placebo group. these results imply that s. haematobium is partially responsible for the splenomegaly and hepatomegaly found in this malarious area, and that treatment for s. h ...19853970303

attempts to induce resistance to schistosoma mansoni and s. haematobium in kenyan baboons (papio anubis) using non-specific immunostimulants.non-specific immunostimulants were used in an attempt to protect baboons from infection by schistosomes. subcutaneous vaccination with cord factor (4.50 mg) and muramyl dipeptide (4.56 mg) 6 days before percutaneous exposure to 3000 schistosoma haematobium cercariae/baboon (c.p.b.) failed to protect naive baboons: baboons with a 7-month-old, 5000 c.p.b. s. haematobium primary infection had developed too strong a natural immunity to detect any protection attributable to vaccination. subcutaneous ...19853982849
urinary iron loss and physical fitness of kenyan children with urinary schistosomiasis.daily urinary iron loss and physical fitness were determined in kenyan primary school children who had low-medium (16-177 eggs/10 ml adj) or high (200-1,194 eggs/10 ml adj) s. hematobium egg counts compared with a matched group of control or uninfected children before and after antischistosomal treatment with metrifonate. the 3 groups did not differ significantly before treatment in age, sex ratio, anthropometry or prevalence of other parasite infections. before treatment, mean iron loss in the ...19853985274
schistosoma haematobium in upper egypt: analysis of dispersion patterns.statistical methods analyzing changes in dispersion patterns of parasites among hosts were applied to schistosoma haematobium egg excretion data from a five-year study of a cohort of 1,400 boys in 3 villages in upper egypt. despite significant changes in mean density of the parasites in the first 4 years, the degree of aggregation of s. haematobium among the cohort did not change markedly in analysis of egg count data obtained semiannually. two other related measures of dispersion, mean crowding ...19853985275
[schistosoma haematobium bilharziosis and urinary infections. study of their relationship in 2 villages of niger].in order to assess the relation between urinary schistosomiasis and urinary tract infections (u.t.t.), a study of two villages in the surroundings of niamey (rep. of niger) was undertaken. in the first village located near a rice plantation irrigation scheme, the global prevalence of s. haematobium infection was 77%. boys between 5 to 14 years of age were all infected and their mean egg output was 500 eggs/10 ml of urine. in the second village, where water is supplied from wells, schistosomiasis ...19853986954
evaluation of cellular immune response during chronic schistosomiasis in humans by the leukocyte aggregation test and the leukocyte migration inhibition test.cellular immune response was evaluated in 31 patients with chronic schistosoma haematobium and schistosoma mansoni infections and in 15 healthy normal persons by using s. mansoni soluble worm and egg antigens. although the leukocyte migration inhibition test demonstrated false-positive reactions, the specificity of the leukocyte aggregation test was confirmed by the negativity of all of the controls. among the patients, only 10% were positive for the leukocyte aggregation test. this low cellular ...19853988906
[epidemiologic study of intestinal and urinary bilharziasis in the tala mokolo region (mandara mountains, north cameroon)].in the mandara mountains, where small dams have been erected, people living in the tala mokolo district eliminate some s. haematobium eggs in 31,4% of urines samples, and some s. mansoni eggs in 38,1% of stools samples. evaluated from hemagglutination test, bilharziosis prevalence reaches 55,7%. male subjects are more frequently affected than female subjects, particularly as for as intestinal bilharziosis is concerned. urinary bilharziosis prevalence or intestinal bilharziosis prevalence are sub ...19853990539
[etiology of bladder cancer].multiple agents have been suggested as urinary bladder carcinogens. of these, certain aromatic amines and some tryptophan metabolites (anthranilic acid, 3 hydroxy anthranilic acid) have been proved to be carcinogenic. others are suggested but are not conclusively proved as carcinogenic agents. various animal species have been used as experimental models for the study of induction of cancer of the bladder and substantial progress has been made in the search for etiologic factors and pathogenesis ...19853991032

resistance against schistosoma mansoni induced by highly irradiated infections: studies on species specificity of immunization and attempts to transfer resistance.significant levels of resistance against schistosoma mansoni challenge were developed by mice exposed to highly irradiated (20 krad.) cercariae of the homologous species (53-67%), whereas vaccination with s. bovis, s. haematobium or s. japonicum failed to confer significant levels of resistance (-5-12%), thus confirming the specificity of the immunizing procedure. attempts to transfer resistance to naive recipients by injection of serum and of spleen or lymph node cells from donor mice vaccinate ...19854000703
schistosomiasis in malawi--a review.prevalence data for schistosomiasis in malawi, collected in recent years, indicated that the infection, especially schistosoma mansoni is far more widespread than was previously thought. s. haematobium is highly prevalent in the south, while s. mansoni predominates on the central plateau. both infections occur with moderate to high intensity along the lakeshore plain. despite the high prevalence, reports of morbidity due to the infection are fewer than might be expected.19854001764
water resources development and schistosomiasis ecology in the awash valley, ethiopia.this paper examines the impact of water resources development, particularly river regulation and irrigated agriculture, on the occurrence of schistosomiasis and its intermediate host snails in the awash valley. an ecologic-geographic approach based on: a combination of comparative schistosomiasis prevalence and human ecological studies of indigenous seminomadic pastoralists and migrant laborers from the ethiopian highlands; analysis of snail intermediate host ecology-geography; and longitudinal ...19854001983
the importance of age and water contact patterns in relation to schistosoma haematobium infection.data obtained by dalton & pole in 1978 were analysed in order to assess the relative importance of age and water contact patterns in explaining the variations in level of infection with schistosoma haematobium observed among their study population. it was found that age and sex were the only two significant factors, and that the information about an individual's water contact pattern contained in the data was of no further help in predicting his level of infection. this conclusion is in marked o ...19854002283
relationships of schistosoma hematobium, hookworm and malarial infections and metrifonate treatment to hemoglobin level in kenyan school children.relationships between hemoglobin level and s. hematobium, hookworm, and malarial infection before and six months after metrifonate treatment were studied in kenyan primary school children in an area where anemia, s. hematobium and hookworm are common (prevalences 61%, 46%, and 95%, respectively) and malaria is holoendemic. the mean hemoglobin level in children from one school, both with and without s. hematobium infection (n = 250), was significantly lower in children with higher s. hematobium e ...19854003667
appendiceal schistosomiasis. method of classifying oviposition and inflammation.twenty surgical specimens of appendiceal schistosomiasis were reviewed retrospectively. they constituted 1 percent of 1984 appendices seen among approximately 15,000 surgical specimens examined at free central laboratories serving the igbos of nigeria, west africa. oviposition by schistosoma haematobium was classified according to its association with suppurative appendicitis and normal appendices. seven of ten infested appendices obtained at curative operations showed suppurative appendicitis, ...19854006634
frequency-pulsed electron-capture gas-liquid chromatographic studies of chemical changes in sera of patients with schistosomiasis.sera from well documented cases of schistosoma mansoni and s. haematobium infections as well as controls, were studied by frequency-pulsed electron-capture gas--liquid chromatography (fpel-glc) and mass spectrometry for detection of carboxylic acids and amines. many carboxylic acids and unidentified peaks were detected. in a few serum specimens from infected patients, putrescine and cadaverine were detected. indications are that in these few patients with high egg counts enough diamines were pre ...19854008566
the schistosomulum surface antigens of schistosoma haematobium.surface antigens of schistosoma haematobium were identified by 125i-surface labelling of schistosomula followed by immunoprecipitation of the solubilized, labelled surfaces. the major antigens, after electrophoresis, formed a continuous smear corresponding to a molecular weight in the range 35-24 000; in addition, a 17 000 antigen was also identified. these surface antigens, in contrast to somatic antigens, were species-specific, as judged by immunoprecipitation with human anti-s. mansoni serum ...19854011317

prevalence and distribution of schistosomiasis in zimbabwe.surveys for schistosomiasis of 14 619 eight- to ten-year-old children from 157 schools in zimbabwe are reported. zimbabwe is divided into three regions on the basis of differing prevalences of schistosoma haematobium, with mean prevalence levels in each zone of 63.2, 37.1 and 14.3%. two regions were identified for s. mansoni, with mean prevalence levels of 15.2 and 1.5%. in most regions commercial farming areas were shown to have higher levels of infection than subsistence farming areas. females ...19854026440
control of schistosomiasis in the new rahad irrigation scheme of central sudan.as the new rahad irrigation scheme in central sudan began its first agricultural season in 1978, the blue nile health project was being developed to prevent schistosomiasis and other water-associated diseases in the rahad and gezira-managil schemes. taken as an indication of overall transmission in the rahad scheme, the prevalence of infection among children in the newly established schools was found initially to be 14% for schistosoma mansoni and 1% for schistosoma haematobium in 1980. in the o ...19854032520
transmission of schistosoma haematobium in north gezira, sudan.during this 14-month study, 128 765 bulinus truncatus snails were collected from canals located near four villages in the northern part of the gezira irrigated area, and were examined for patent trematode infections, by exposure to light. in all, 903 shedded cercariae, of which 424 were identified as s. haematobium, and one village, bashagra, was the source of 80% of these s. haematobium infections. the highest density of snails occurred from march to may and the peak of snail infections occurre ...19854032531
schistosomiasis haematobium and the mortality occurring in an endemic community at bujashi, tanzania.a population of 4516 inhabitants of an area endemic for schistosomiasis haematobium at bujashi, tanzania, was investigated in 1983 seven years after a baseline study for a pilot control project to determine the disease mortality risk. the distribution of the 238 deaths occurring in the population, when analysed by the mantel haenszel test, showed similar age and sex specific mortality rates among the 2309 non-cases and 2109 cases found excreting schistosome eggs at the baseline urine examination ...19854035772
probable hybridization between s. intercalatum and s. haematobium in western gabun.cases of intestinal schistosomiasis due to s. intercalatum were compared in an area of high prevalence of s. haematobium (palmeveas) with those in an area of low prevalence of s. haematobium (lambaréné) in the gabon. the patients with intestinal schistosomiasis in the area with high prevalence of s. haematobium excreted more eggs resembling s. intercalatum in the urine than those in the low s. haematobium prevalence area. it is suggested that the eggs resembling morphologically s. intercalatum m ...19854035773
the mechanism and rate of glucose transfer from male to female schistosomes.short-term in vitro pulse-labeling of the free glucose pool in pairs of schistosoma mansoni, and measurement of the increase in [14c]glucose in the female partner (and the concomitant decrease in the male), has established that glucose can be transferred from male to female schistosomes. it is demonstrated that this transfer is not inhibited by ouabain in s. mansoni. free glucose levels have been measured in schistosoma haematobium, schistosoma japonicum and s. mansoni. data indicate that the tr ...19854069156
