Molecular Detection of Atypical Schistosoma Ova in Human Urine Suggests Hybridization and Zoonotic Transmission Potential in Abuja, Nigeria

2026-05-28

Abstract excerpt

Schistosomiasis remains a major public health concern in Nigeria. We molecularly characterized Schistosoma eggs obtained from human urine to identify species and assess the presence of hybrid schistosomes in Abuja, Nigeria. Urine samples were collected from 1,887 participants aged five years and above. Samples were examined for Schistosoma eggs using light microscopy. A total of 507 (26.9%) were positive for any f...
