Abstract

Abstract Not all cases are extreme, but only a small percentage of the estimate 200 million people infected with schistosomiasis in Africa suffer this fate. Schistosomiasis eggs accumulate and damage organs slowly, day after day, without their function being impaired, up until it's too late. Usually, it is only then that symptoms become apparent and schistosomiasis is diagnosed. This book chapter focuses on campaigns focused on schistosomiasis control and prevention.
