This notwithstanding, the disease remains a scourge for large populations in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, and the main part of this book is made up by papers dealing with its current distribution, discussing ways and means to establish and implement improved control approaches. While chemotherapy limits the symptoms caused by schistosomiasis, the number of infected people will not decrease until the parasite's life cycle is interrupted. To that end, some papers focus on the intermediate snail host, which is notoriously difficult to control, while others discuss human hygiene and sanitation. The latter approach not only prevents infection through avoiding people being infected from the snail, but more importantly, also stops people infecting the snail by leaving contagious feces and urine in nature. With morbidity reduced by chemotherapy, the immediate target now is the interruption of transmission to be achieved by new tools, such as the novel chemotherapies, improved diagnostics (for humans, animals, and snails), and vaccines discussed in several of the papers. As made clear in this book, a complex infection requires new tools as well as work on many fronts, above all; however, a clear idea is needed as to how to skillfully combine the tools available and sustain implemented control activities. 610 $aCambodia 610 $aschistosomiasis elimination 610 $achemotherapy 610 $aCo?te d'Ivoire 610 $asystems thinking 610 $aSchistosomiasis mansoni 610 $acontrol and elimination 610 $aneglected tropical diseases 610 $adrug discovery 610 $asystems epidemiology 610 $aguidelines 610 $aschistosomiasis 610 $aCentral Africa 610 $agoals 610 $amapping 610 $aAfrica 610 $acattle 610 $azoonosis 610 $asystematic non-compliance 610 $aLao PDR 610 $aSm14 610 $aPOC-CCA 610 $aplanorbidae 610 $acomplexity 610 $adistribution 610 $aremote-sensing 610 $aNeotricula aperta 610 $asanitation 610 $aBiomphalaria glabrata 610 $aSchistosomiasis 610 $ainternational space station 610 $aMayuge 610 $aelimination 610 $aspatio-temporal epidemiology 610 $agoats 610 $aFABP 610 $aartemether 610 $ainterdisciplinarity 610 $apraziquantel 610 $asoil-transmitted-helminthiasis 610 $aCaribbean 610 $ahealth education 610 $asnail 610 $aSchistosoma haematobium 610 $asnail resistance 610 $a28S ribosomal DNA 610 $aWIPO Re:Search 610 $aintermediate snail host 610 $aSchistosoma malayensis 610 $aGabon 610 $atransmission 610 $asoil-transmitted helminths 610 $acombination therapy 610 $aS. mansoni 610 $aclimate change 610 $adomestic animals 610 $aSchistosoma mansoni 610 $adiagnosis 610 $aSchistosoma japonicum 610 $aleishmaniasis 610 $amodelling 610 $apublic-private partnerships 610 $aGIS 610 $aECOSTRESS 610 $ayoung adults 610 $aOncomelania hupensis 610 $aPCR 610 $aBulinus truncatus 610 $agene drive 610 $aworldview 610 $aS. japonicum zoonosis 610 $acoverage rate 610 $aphylogeography 610 $across-sector collaboration 610 $aepidemiology 610 $apreventive chemotherapy 610 $aMDA coverage 610 $aChina 610 $aoperational research 610 $atransmission control 610 $asatellite 610 $ahigh-sensitivity diagnostics 610 $aloop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) 610 $asheep 610 $apolymerase chain reaction 610 $aBIO Ventures for Global Health 610 $abovines 610 $aKato-Katz 610 $avaccine development 610 $atreatment-opportunities 610 $aPhilippines 610 $abuffalo 610 $aSchistosoma mekongi 610 $acontrol 610 $aSchistosoma 610 $avector control 610 $avaccine 610 $aparasite 610 $aAsia 610 $atransgenic snail 610 $asnail control 610 $aDNA 610 $acapacity-building 610 $aUganda 610 $apooled samples 700 $aGray$b Darren$01329491 702 $aBergquist$b Robert 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367563803321 996 $aProspects for Schistosomiasis Elimination$93039509 997 $aUNINA
