The occurrence of schistosomiasis in African infants and preschool children has been largely overlooked, with preventive chemotherapy usually focused on school-aged children instead. Two recent surveys by Bosompem et al. and Odogwu et al. have shown that schistosomiasis in younger children is much more common than previously thought. This article highlights the importance of the disease in this age group and discusses the future prospects for schistosomiasis control.
非洲婴幼儿和学龄前儿童血吸虫病的发病情况在很大程度上被忽视了，预防性化疗通常侧重于学龄儿童。博松佩姆等人和奥多古等人最近的两项调查表明，年幼儿童中的血吸虫病比以前认为的要普遍得多。本文强调了该疾病在这一年龄组中的重要性，并讨论了血吸虫病控制的未来前景。
