Occurrence of snail intermediate host of schistosomiasis: implications for schistosomiasis control based on mass drug administration of praziquantel in Benue State, Nigeria

2026-01-26

Abstract excerpt

Schistosomiasis is a neglected disease that is still ravaging many rural community dwellers in Nigeria. Different species of freshwater snails, such as Bulinus and Biomphalaria , play passive roles in the transmission of schistosomiasis. A study on the occurrence of snail intermediate hosts of schistosomes was conducted following mass praziquantel administration in Katsina-Ala, Benue State, Nigeria. The objectiv...
