[Schistosomiasis in Tunisia. Results after 10 years of the endemics control]
Abstract:
Despite the progress already made in the field of epidemiology and the control of schistosomiasis, the practical application of an efficient and economically acceptable methodology still remains a difficult problem to solve. In the saharian and pre-saharian regions of Tunisia, Bulinus truncatus was successfully controlled while at the same time most of the infected people were treated, so that the transmission did not show up through the appearance of new cases at the outset of the 2nd semester 1976. A system of epidemiologic supervision and yearly evaluation of the results has been implemented in order to strengthen this positive fact and to ensure the cure of residual cases.
