Abstract

Three vaccines against human schistosomiasis are in different phases of clinical development, and a fourth is expected to enter the clinic soon. Successful introduction of an efficacious preventive human schistosomiasis vaccine will require integration into existing health systems such as those that deliver childhood vaccines or mass drug administration programs.

Keywords: neglected tropical diseases; schistosomiasis; vaccine.
