A Darwinian outlook on schistosomiasis elimination

2020-10-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Schistosomiasis is a poverty-related chronic disease that affects over 240 million people across 78 countries worldwide. In order to control the disease, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the drug praziquantel against all forms of schistosomiasis. Mass Drug Administration (MDA) programs with praziquantel are successful on the short-term as they reduce the prevalence and infection int...
