摘要：Authors E. Biance-Valero , F. De Laval , M. Delerue , H. Savini , S. Cheinin , P. Leroy , B. Soullié Key words: schistosomiasis, real-time PCR, epidemic, overseas missions DOI : 10.1684/mst.2013.0213 Page(s) : 226-7 Published in: 2013 The authors report the results of molecular biology techniques for the early diagnosis of cases (invasion phase) of schistosomiasis during two epidemics occurring during French military projects in the Central African Republic and Madagascar. The use of these techniques in real time for subjects not residing in the endemic area significantly improves the sensitivity of screening. The attack rates of these episodes, according to a case definition that took positive specific PCR results into account, were 59% and 26%. These results are a concrete illustration of the proverb that “yaws begin where the trail stops”.
