Mechanisms underlying persistent liver fibrosis progression in Schistosoma-infected individuals post-treatment
In the post-schistosomiasis control era, expanding the focus of research to include the "post-treatment" phase is essential. Investigating the mechanisms underlying the persistent progression of liver fibrosis and identifying future research priorities may enhance efforts toward the global elimination of schistosomiasis and improve long-term health outcomes for individuals who have received praziquantel treatment.
