Schistosomiasis continues to spread. In the WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record of 25 July, Maurtiania officially recognized that Schistosoma mansoni is endemic, thus 53 countries are endemic for intestinal schistosomiasis due to S. mansoni. We are particularly interested in documentation of resistance to praziquantel and on epidemiological data from endemic countries. K.E.

Background: Genetic heterogeneity in the conventional Schistosoma stocks makes it difficult and in most cases impossible to distinguish between polymorphism (= multiple alleles) and gene families (= isoforms).
