Developments in schistosomiasis research and management.
Schistosomiasis is a worldwide problem because it is so widely distributed, and few places on earth are now too remote. Some of the most important new research examines how parasite and host biology are integrated, how any level of infection contributes to the overall burden of disease, and the long-term and short-term outcomes of control programs.
