This week’s #DeepDive, we highlight Male Genital Schistosomiasis (MGS)—a largely overlooked form of #schistosomiasis, one of the world’s most widespread #NTDs

Globally, #MGS remains under-diagnosed & poorly understood, often missed in sexual & reproductive health discussions.

Very happy to share our latest paper on the impact, and One Health implications, of livestock schistosomiasis in Africa.

In a region we previously documented use/misuse of PZQ in livestock - we demonstrate near zero drug efficacy amongst small ruminants.

Hybrid schistosome parasites are complicating control efforts for schistosomiasis by increasing transmission potential and challenging current diagnostic and treatment strategies in Africa and beyond. doi.org/hbh9fb
Hybrid parasites threaten progress against one of the world's most widespread neglected diseases
New research led by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) warns that hybrid forms of the parasites that cause schistosomiasis are undermining existing disease control strategies and could accelerate the spread of infection in Africa and beyond.

Loss of vitamin C synthesis protects animals from schistosomiasis: Newsroom
Michalis Agathocleous, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in CRI and of Pediatrics, works with Ji Hyung Jun, Ph.D., Agathocleous Lab Senior Research Scientist at UT Southwestern. DALLAS – Dec. 29, 2025 – Scientists at Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered a benefit of vitamin C deficiency: protection from a major parasitic disease. Their research suggests an explanation for the loss of the ability to synthesize vitamin C in some animals, including humans. Michalis Agathocleous, Ph.D., is Assistant Professor in CRI and of Pediatrics at UT Southwestern. Ascorbate, better known as vitamin C, is not required by most animals because they
