Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Sm-p80 vaccine originally developed for Schistosoma mansoni confers protection against Schistosoma haematobium. • Sm-p80 vaccine has a high likelihood of success against both intestinal and urinary schistosomiasis. • Schistosomiasis control should encompass mass drug/vaccine administration or MDVA: a vaccine implementation scheme that would entail treating infected individuals with praziquantel and then vaccinating them with a schistosome vaccine.
