Schistosomes of small mammals from the Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya: new species, familiar species, and implications for schistosomiasis control.
Hanelt, B; Mwangi, IN; Kinuthia, JM; Maina, GM; Agola, LE; Mutuku, MW; Steinauer, ML; Agwanda, BR; Kigo, L; Mungai, BN; Loker, ES; Mkoji, GM (University of NairobiSchool of Medicine, 2010)Recent schistosomiasis control efforts in sub-Saharan Africa have focused nearly exclusively on treatment of humans with praziquantel. However, the extent to which wild mammals act as reservoirs for Schistosoma mansoni and ...
