Abstract
Schematic diagram of diagnostic examinations and treatment of schistosomiasis. Current diagnostics for schistosomiasis are the detection of parasite ova, parasite-specific antibodies, and pathological lesions. All three diagnostics involve ova-related phenomena, and their results do not always reflect active schistosome infection.
