Multiple Praziquantel Treatments of Schistosoma mansoni Egg-Negative, CCA-Positive School children in a Very Low Endemic Setting in Egypt Do Not Consistently Alter CCA Results

Study showed that CCA trace and 1+ readings, in Kato–Katz S. mansoni egg-negative children in area with very low levels of intestinal schistosomiasis, are not consistently altered or rendered consistently negative following repeated PZQ treatments and are therefore likely to represent false-positive readings. This finding is of critical importance for countries such as Egypt as they approach elimination.

Schistosomiasis in the Philippines: Innovative Control Approach is Needed if Elimination is the Goal

In 1996, schistosomiasis due to Schistosoma japonicum was declared eradicated in Japan. In the People’s Republic of China, S. japonicum transmission has been interrupted in the major endemic areas in the coastal plains but the disease persists in the lake and marshland regions south of the Yangtze River. The disease remains a public health problem in endemic areas in the Philippines and in isolated areas in Indonesia. An innovative approach is needed in the Philippines if schistosomiasis elimination is the goal.
