GSA Chicago Meeting Report and Slides

The GSA hosted a special one-day meeting on the 18th of October in Chicago: Schistosomiasis: Celebrating Recent Achievements Supporting Elimination Goals. The meeting offered an opportunity to hear about the progress made by schistosomiasis programmes, celebrate ongoing work and consider some of the exciting research and developments that will help us reach the elimination targets. The meeting report and slides are shared here.

Article | The long road to schistosomiasis elimination in Zanzibar: A systematic review covering 100 years of research, interventions and control milestones

This systematic review identifies and discusses milestones in schistosomiasis research, control and elimination efforts in Zanzibar over the past 100 years. The greatest achievement following 100 years of schistosomiasis interventions and research is undoubtedly the improved health of Zanzibaris, exemplified by the reduction in Schistosoma haematobium prevalence from>50% historically down to<5% in 2020, and the absence of severe morbidities. With continuing national and international commitments, interruption of S. haematobium transmission across both islands is within reach by 2030, signposting the future demise of urogenital schistosomiasis across other parts of sub-Saharan Africa.

TIBA Partnership | The Wash

The film is intentionally multidisciplinary combining various film approaches to appeal to different age groups and we have used for targeted health messages e.g. school children to demonstrate the importance of WASH for the control of waterborne diseases such as bilharzia (schistosomiasis), public health professionals to highlight the importance of taking behavioural aspects into account for disease control, and for development partners especially non-local partners to demonstrate the importance of context-relevant interventions co-produced with affected populations/end users.

COR NTD | What is FGS and how does research help tackle it?

For International Women's Day, COR-NTD and UK Aid from the UK government want to call your attention to a neglected tropical disease called female genital schistosomiasis. Not only is this disease life-altering, and stigmatizing but it’s also preventable. Help us shed light on FGS to beat NTDs.

Article | Behaviour change interventions for the control and elimination of schistosomiasis: A systematic review of evidence from low- and middle-income countries

This study reviewed peer-reviewed publications released before June 2021 to assess the effectiveness of BC projects in decreasing risk practices and disease prevalence. Projects used four approaches: health education (HEIs), social-environmental (SEIs), physical-environmental (PEIs), and incentives-centred interventions (ICIs).
