Webster<\/h3>\n<h4>Royal Veterinary College, University of London<\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:<\/strong>\u00a0Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease of profound medical and veterinary importance, which has attracted increased focus and funding for control since the Millennium. However, despite\u00a0shifts in global health policy towards the implementation of mass chemotherapeutic control programmes (aimed at school-aged children) at the national scale in sub-Saharan Africa, including those expanding out from morbidity control to potential \u2018elimination as a public health problem\u2019 in selected countries or regions, challenges remain and novel challenges have emerged.\u00a0\u00a0Knowledge on how the phenotype and genotype of\u00a0<em>Schistosoma<\/em>\u00a0spp. populations change in response to praziquantel pressure has important implications for the success of control programmes wherever mass chemotherapy is implemented. A major concern is the potential for reduced drug efficacy and\/or the evolution of praziquantel resistance.\u00a0 However, changes in drug efficacy may not be the only explanation for apparent treatment failures and ongoing high transmission in areas of high drug coverage.\u00a0\u00a0Here I present data from a series of field and laboratory research on schistosomes of humans, livestock and wildlife across Africa and Asia under contrasting treatment histories and habitat selection pressures. Such research\u00a0incorporates cutting edge developments in parasitological diagnostic tools and statistical analyses, and from parasite population genetics to genomics.\u00a0\u00a0I discuss the results to date in terms of their theoretical and applied implications and applications.<\/p>\n<h2>Everyone Welcome!<\/h2>\n<h4>The lecture will begin at 6:00 p.m.<\/h4>\n<h4>Please join us for a special reception following the lecture.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"daevent-type":[],"event-audience":[14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22],"event-featured":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>George R.
