Selected major risk factors and global and regional burden of disease
TL;DR: Substantial proportions of global disease burden are attributable to these major risks, to an extent greater than previously estimated.

Schistosomiasis and water resources development: systematic review, meta-analysis, and estimates of people at risk
TL;DR: It is concluded that the development and management of water resources is an important risk factor for schistosomiasis, and hence strategies to mitigate negative effects should become integral parts in the planning, implementation, and operation of future water projects.

TL;DR: Stroke and ischaemic heart disease were the leading causes of death and DALYs at the national level in China in 2017, and China has made substantial progress in reducing the burden of many diseases and disabilities.

TL;DR: Children's and women's haemoglobin statuses improved in some regions where concentrations had been low in the 1990s, leading to a modest global increase in mean haemochemistry and a reduction in anaemia prevalence between 1995 and 2011.

TL;DR: It is concluded that schistosomiasis remains an important public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa and the mortality rates due to non-functioning kidney and haematemesis at 150000 and 130000 per year are estimated.

Effects of improved water supply and sanitation on ascariasis diarrhoea dracunculiasis hookworm infection schistosomiasis and trachoma.
TL;DR: Sanitation facilities decreased diarrhoea morbidity and mortality and the severity of hookworm infection, and child mortality fell by 55%, which suggests that water and sanitation have a substantial impact on child survival.

Molluscicides in schistosomiasis control
TL;DR: Improved cost-effective use of molluscicides will require more precise knowledge of schistosomiasis transmission patterns in each endemic area and improved application techniques, and knowledge of the properties required ofmolluscicidal molecules has contributed to the discovery and development of niclosamide and nicotinanilide.

Schistosomiasis in the Senegal River Basin: before and after the construction of the dams at Diama, Senegal and Manantali, Mali and future prospects
TL;DR: Future studies will monitor the spread of human urinary and mesenteric schistosomiasis in the SRB, evaluate further the presence of praziquantel resistance/tolerance in S. mansoni, examine the heavily infected human population for pathological symptoms and determine the most appropriate methods to control this severe outbreak of human schistOSomiasis.
