“…These factors have been reported in some urban and coastal locations of some Brazilian states. 15,16 Research on this disease has been conducted in the metropolitan region of Recife since the 1990s. 7,8,17,18 The results indicate the systematic appearance of new hotspots of active schistosomiasis transmission in periurban and coastal areas, suggesting that the disease is out of control in the state of Pernambuco.…”
