The effects of subcurative praziquantel treatment on life-history traits and trade-offs in drug-resistant .

Evolutionary applications

Viana M, Faust CL, Haydon DT, Webster JP, Lamberton PHL.
PMID: 29636801
Evol Appl. 2017 Nov 19;11(4):488-500. doi: 10.1111/eva.12558. eCollection 2018 Apr.

Natural selection acts on all organisms, including parasites, to maximize reproductive fitness. Drug resistance traits are often associated with life-history costs in the absence of treatment. Schistosomiasis control programmes rely on mass drug administration to reduce human morbidity and...

Reconciling egg- and antigen-based estimates of Schistosoma mansoni clearance and reinfection: a modelling study.

Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America

Clark J, Arinaitwe M, Nankasi A, Faust CL, Moses A, Ajambo D, Besigye F, Atuhaire A, Wamboko A, Carruthers LV, Francoeur R, Tukahebwe EM, Prada JM, Lamberton PHL.
PMID: 34358299
Clin Infect Dis. 2021 Aug 06; doi: 10.1093/cid/ciab679. Epub 2021 Aug 06.

BACKGROUND: 240-million people have schistosomiasis despite decades of interventions. Infections cannot be directly observed, and egg-based Kato-Katz thick smears lack sensitivity, impacting treatment efficacy and reinfection rate estimates. The Point-of-Care Circulating Cathodic Antigen test (POC-CCA) is advocated as an...

Gender-related differences in prevalence, intensity and associated risk factors of Schistosoma infections in Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases

Ayabina DV, Clark J, Bayley H, Lamberton PHL, Toor J, Hollingsworth TD.
PMID: 34788280
PLoS Negl Trop Dis. 2021 Nov 17;15(11):e0009083. doi: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0009083. eCollection 2021 Nov.

BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis remains a global-health problem with over 90% of its burden concentrated in Africa. Field studies reflect the complex ways in which socio-cultural and socio-economic variables, affect the distribution of Schistosoma infections across different populations. This review set...

A Call for Systems Epidemiology to Tackle the Complexity of Schistosomiasis, Its Control, and Its Elimination.

Tropical medicine and infectious disease

Krauth SJ, Balen J, Gobert GN, Lamberton PHL.
PMID: 30699922
Trop Med Infect Dis. 2019 Jan 29;4(1). doi: 10.3390/tropicalmed4010021.

Ever since the first known written report of schistosomiasis in the mid-19th century, researchers have aimed to increase knowledge of the parasites, their hosts, and the mechanisms contributing to infection and disease. This knowledge generation has been paramount for...

Non-monetary numeraires: Varying the payment vehicle in a choice experiment for health interventions in Uganda.

Ecological economics : the journal of the International Society for Ecological Economics

Meginnis K, Hanley N, Mujumbusi L, Lamberton PHL.
PMID: 32255923
Ecol Econ. 2020 Apr;170:106569. doi: 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2019.106569.

Schistosomiasis is a serious health problem in many parts of Africa which is linked to poor water quality and limited sanitation resources. We administered a discrete choice experiment on water access and health education in rural Uganda, focussing on...
