A new formulation of praziquantel, arpraziquantel (arPZQ), has been developed for preschool-
aged children (PSAC) to fill the treatment gap for this age group in schistosomiasis control and
elimination program...s. There is now a priority to ensure that the drug reaches all at-risk PSAC
in endemic areas, including hard-to-reach areas and populations. This study aimed to deter-
mine schistosomiasis treatment-related contextual factors among fishermen and island popu-
lations in Homa Bay County, Kenya, and to identify a suitable platform to deliver arPZQ.

These field guides to African freshwater snails of medical and veterinary importance were published by the Danish Bilharzia Laboratory in the 1980s-90s. They remain a valuable tool for researchers working on schistosomiasis and the intermediate host snail species, and in determining sources of infec...tion in endemic countries.

Trypanosoma cruzi, is a parasitic protozoan that is the causative agent of Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis). Currently, six distinct lineages of T. cruzi are classified into discrete typing units (TcI-VI), which vary in... their geographic occurrence, host specificity, and pathogenicity.
