Prevalence and molecular identification of <i>Schistosoma haematobium</i> infection in two peri-urban areas of Lusaka, Zambia: a cross-sectional study

2026-02-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Schistosomiasis is one of the most prevalent neglected tropical diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa, causing substantial morbidity and millions of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Although the WHO aims to eliminate schistosomiasis as a public health problem in several countries by 2030, limited data on infection prevalence in Zambia has hindered effective Mass Drug Adminis...
