To review humoral immunological and biochemical markers for infection, immunity, and morbidity.

Main Methods:

Literature review of recent advancements in diagnostic marker assays.
Focus on humoral immunological markers and biochemical markers.
Exclusion of cellular immunological reactivity markers.

Main Results:

Recent progress in assaying humoral immunological markers for schistosomiasis.
Emerging trends in biochemical markers for schistosomiasis detection.
Identification of markers for infection, immunity, and morbidity.

Conclusions:

Humoral immunological and biochemical markers show promise for schistosomiasis diagnosis.
Continued research is needed to refine and validate these diagnostic tools.
These markers are essential for monitoring infection, immune response, and disease progression.
