Direct measurement of <i>in vitro</i> response to Praziquantel in <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> populations from Western Kenya

2026-07-22

Abstract excerpt

Large-scale treatment with praziquantel (PZQ) monotherapy is used to control schistosomiasis, leading to concerns about the emergence of PZQ-resistance. In Western Kenya, schistosome-infected patients frequently remain egg-positive following PZQ treatment, and several “hotspot” villages have been observed where transmission remains high, despite annual mass PZQ treatments. This project asks (i) whether PZQ-resista...
