Integrated Disease Control of Human Schistosomiasis Using a Combined Health, Environmental and Crevetticulture Intervention

The idea is to stop schistosomiasis (affecting 790 million people) using a combination of chemotherapy and parasite extinction, latter to be accomplished through restoring the population of indigenous freshwater prawns to rural waterways in endemic regions of Africa. These prawns are natural predators of aquatic snails that harbor schistosomiasis. Follow Nicolas Jouanard on Twitter @ProjetCrevette"
