MORBID: Morbidity Operational Research for Bilharziasis Implementation Decisions (Pilot)
Schistosomiasis
Research question
A pilot study to identify meaningful and measurable targets for detecting the control of schistosomiasis-related morbidity in Africa. The overall study is designed to answer the following primary evaluation questions:
- What are the infection levels of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium below which there is little, or no, detectable schistosomiasis-associated morbidity?
- What are the optimal morbidity markers for S. mansoni and S. haematobium?
- What are the optimal species-specific morbidity goals for which schistosomiasis control programs should be aiming?
