Accuracy Study of Kato-Katz and Helmintex Methods for Diagnosis of Schistosomiasis Mansoni in a Moderate Endemicity Area in Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by blood flukes from the genus Schistosoma. Brazil hosts the main endemic area in the Americas, where Schistosoma mansoni is the only species causing the disease. Kato-Katz (KK) thick smear is the WHO recommended screening test for populat...
