Pre-school aged children are exposed to Schistosoma through Lake Kivu in Rwanda

2019-02-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Schistosomiasis is prevalent in many sub-Saharan African countries and transmission is through waters contaminated by infected snails. In Rwanda, although schistosomiasis is endemic, very few epidemiological studies exist; of these, schoolchildren have been the focus, neglecting pre-school-aged children (PSAC). Furthermore, malacological surveys to indicate the potential for transmission are...
