Association between female genital schistosomiasis and high-risk human papillomavirus among women of reproductive age in Zambia: the Schista study

2025-11-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) is a chronic gynaecological disease caused by the deposition of Schistosoma haematobium eggs in the female genital tract. It is highly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the region with the highest cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates globally. Persistent infection with high risk (HR-) human papilloma virus (HPV) is necessary for cervical canc...
