Am J Trop Med Hyg
. 2020 Aug;
103(4):1376-1379.
PMID: 32783791
Large-scale control efforts in sub-Saharan Africa may leave long-term lingering transmission. Large-scale screening of snail infection prevalence by loop-mediated isothermal amplification will enable accurate determination of man-to-snail transmission, as well...

PMID: 28764739
Background: Schistosoma haematobium is the causative agent of human urogenital schistosomiasis affecting ~112 million people in Africa and the Middle East. The parasite is transmitted by snails of the genus...

Hamburger J, Abbasi I, Kariuki C, Wanjala A, Mzungu E, Mungai P, et al.
Am J Trop Med Hyg
. 2012 Dec;
88(2):344-51.
PMID: 23208875
We previously described loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for detection of Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni DNA in infected snails. In the present study, we adapted the LAMP assay for application...

Am J Trop Med Hyg
. 2012 Oct;
87(6):1059-64.
PMID: 23109375
In schistosomiasis elimination programs, successful discrimination of Schistosoma haematobium from the related animal Schistosoma parasites will be essential for accurate detection of human parasite transmission. Polymerase chain reaction assays employing...

Am J Trop Med Hyg
. 2012 Sep;
87(5):883-7.
PMID: 22987649
We have previously developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for detection of Echinococcus granulosus infection, which proved very sensitive and specific for identification of infected dogs. We have now...

Am J Trop Med Hyg
. 2010 Aug;
83(2):427-32.
PMID: 20682894
Monitoring post-control transmission of schistosomes by examining humans becomes less effective as infection rates among humans decrease. Molecular monitoring of prepatent schistosome infection in snails by the polymerase chain reaction...

Salant H, Spira D, Hamburger J
Am J Trop Med Hyg
. 2010 May;
82(5):865-70.
PMID: 20439968
The relative role of transmission of Toxoplasma gondii infection from cats to humans appears to have recently increased in certain areas. Large-scale screening of oocyst shedding in cats cannot rely...

Am J Trop Med Hyg
. 2007 May;
76(5):950-5.
PMID: 17488921
Schistosoma haematobium infects nearly 150 million people, primarily in Africa, and is transmitted by select species of local bulinid snails. These snails can host other related trematode species as well,...

Vet Parasitol
. 2007 Mar;
146(3-4):214-20.
PMID: 17395378
Copro-diagnostic methods for Toxoplasma gondii infected cats have been traditionally based on the identification of oocysts by light microscopy or by bioassays. The first method is not sensitive and also...

. 2006 Oct;
22(12):575-82.
PMID: 17030017
Current population-based schistosomiasis treatment programs are a first step to reducing the global burden of Schistosoma-related disease; however, they might not dramatically reduce parasite transmission in highly endemic areas. Consequently,...
