“…Urban schistosomiasis is the cumulative outcome of local transmission and migration. 5 Movements of displaced persons due to conflict, drought and famine are currently playing an important role in the changing epidemiology of schistosomiasis in these countries: (1) Laos/Cambodia/Thailand; (2) Ethiopia/Somalia/Sudan; (3) Mozambique/Zambia/Malawi; Angola/Zaire. 5 …”

ABSTRACT. Despite the implementation control programs, schistosomiasis continues to spread throughout the world. Among modern control strategies, vector control is currently being emphasized. Within this context, analysis of the genetic variability of intermediate host snails (Biomphalaria spp) is important because it allows identification of specific sequences of the genome of this mollusk related to suscep- 1451©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 9 (3): 1450-1459 (2010) Genetic variability between Biomphalaria glabrata strains tibility/resistance to Schistosoma mansoni infection. We investigated Brazilian albino (non-pigmented) and pigmented (wild type) strains of Biomphalaria glabrata; these strains differ in their susceptibility to S. mansoni infection. Genetic variability was studied by RAPD-PCR using different random primers. The electrophoretic patterns resulting from amplification showed specific polymorphic markers for the albino and pigmented strains of B. glabrata. This information will help in the identification and isolation of genes specifically related to susceptibility, demonstrating that RAPD-PCR is an appropriate and efficient methodological approach for analysis of the genetic variability of schistosomiasis vectors.

Background At present schistosomiasis is endemic in 78 countries affecting more than 260 million people. Schistosomiasis haematobia alone affects more than 112 millions. Material and Methods We performed a computerized search of Pubmed database with keywords: bladder cancer cost and schistosomiasis mass treatment. Results Bladder cancer is an important sequelae of this infection. In low-resource countries, where this disease is endemic, individuals inflicted with bladder cancer have very limited access to treatment and death is most probably certain. Conclusion Mass treatment with praziquantel is an easy, safe and inexpensive treatment that could save the lives of thousands and reduce the morbidity of millions.
