BACKGROUND: Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), a gynecological disease caused by Schistosoma haematobium egg deposition in the female genital tract, is prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, the region with the highest cervical cancer burden globally. Persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is necessary for cervical cancer development. We determined the association between FGS and HR-HPV...
