The 19 pages that link to Schistosomiasis, each with the reason it gives.

• GastropodaRelated: Some gastropods sustain the parasite stages that transmit this human disease.

• Mass drug administrationBroader topic: Preventive treatment with praziquantel targets at-risk communities and school-age children.

• PraziquantelRelated: Praziquantel is the standard treatment for most human schistosome infections.

• Neglected tropical diseasesBroader topic: Its transmission links infection to water infrastructure and sanitation.

• Intermediate hostRelated: Control programs target infected snails because they are required intermediate hosts.

• Soil-transmitted helminthiasisCompared with: Its transmission requires freshwater snails and water contact rather than contaminated soil.

• GastropodRelated: Freshwater snails host the parasite's larval stages and sustain transmission.

• AnthelminticRelated: Praziquantel is the main drug used to treat most schistosome infections.

• Parasitic diseaseBroader topic: Its transmission through freshwater and chronic organ damage exemplify helminth disease.

• FlatwormBroader topic: This major human disease is caused by parasitic flatworms with freshwater snail hosts.

• TrematodaBroader topic: It is a major human disease caused by trematodes transmitted through freshwater exposure.

• Akosombo DamRelated: Reservoir conditions increased exposure to freshwater habitats associated with the disease.

• NiclosamideRelated: Controlling freshwater snails with niclosamide can reduce transmission of the parasite.

• SnailRelated: Some freshwater snails host the parasite's larval stages and release them into water.

• HelminthologyBroader topic: Control depends on understanding parasite transmission, snail hosts, and continuing human exposure.

• AntiparasiticRelated: Praziquantel is widely used to treat this helminth infection.

• DracunculiasisCompared with: Both involve freshwater transmission, but schistosomiasis is caused by flukes and does not involve a worm emerging through skin.

• Freshwater snailRelated: Several freshwater snail lineages serve as intermediate hosts for human-infecting schistosomes.

• HelminthiasisBroader topic: It shows how a helminth can infect through skin contact rather than ingestion.
