<br/><br/> Schistosomiasis is a chronic debilitating disease that continues to threaten millions of people, and to be the 2nd major parasitic disease worldwide after malaria in term of morbidity, mortality, and prevalence . The treatment and control of human schistosomiasis rely on a single drug, praziquantel (PZQ), that effectively kills adult schistosomes but lacks efficacy against schistosomulae (juvenile schistosomes) a fact that explains low observed cure rates of schistosomiasis
