Evidence for local transmission and maintenance of schistosomiasis in an urban neighborhood in Northeast Brazil

2022-03-08

Abstract excerpt

Schistosomiasis is a tropical neglected disease commonly associated with rural areas; however, urban schistosomiasis has been reported world-wide, and increasing urbanization is one of the most important demographic shifts of the 20 th and now 21 st centuries. The pattern of urbanization is not uniform so that within the same city the rates and sources of population increase vary. Here we report on the parasite...
