“…The eggs are highly immunogenic and are majorly responsible for disease outcomes by triggering localized pathologic reactions within the human host [ 4 , 7 , 8 ]. Although human infection with Schistosoma species may cause non-specific but incapacitating systemic morbidities such as malnutrition, anemia, and impaired physical and cognitive development in children, poor birth outcomes in infected pregnant women, and neurological aberrations, S. haematobium is specifically responsible for urogenital pathologies, while other Schistosoma species majorly cause gastrointestinal complications, but also hepatosplenic enlargement, ascites, and portal hypertension in advanced cases [ 3 , 7 , 9 , 10 ]. Again, there is growing evidence that female urogenital schistosomiasis poses an increased risk of HIV transmission and/or progression [ 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”
