Abstract
Schistosomiasis solution is not as simple as mass drug administration: Lamberton Lab takes a holistic approach to break the cycle of infection Schisto_Persist aims to understand why schistosomiasis is not reducing in some areas despite nearly 20 years of mass drug administration. Overarching questions: What is the best way to monitor schistosome infections and drug efficacy? Has praziquantel resistance been selected for and what is its potential for spread? What other factors drive maintained transmission? What other factors affect parasite clearance? All require improved diagnostics and interpretation to be answered. Here we discuss the advances the Lamberton Lab are making for Schistosoma diagnostics.
