Dynamic interactions between Schistosoma haematobium, Schistosoma mattheei and Schistosoma mansoni underscore the complex polyparasitism of intestinal schistosomiasis in southern Malawi
Abstract. Schistosomiasis is prevalent among school-aged children (SAC) in Mangochi District, Malawi, where both intestinal and urogenital forms are endemi

In this larger cohort of children, we frequently detected DNA from classically urogenital (S. haematobium) and livestock-associated (S. mattheei) schistosome species in faeces, and identified potential cross-species interactions that may influence worm migration.

Hybrid schistosome parasites lead to calls for new diagnostic methods
The study, published in the CDC’s Emerging Infectious Diseases, describes new cases of mixed intestinal and urogenital schistosomiasis in patients from Mangochi District, Malawi. Although the
