Molecular epidemiological studies on animal trypanosomiases in Ghana.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Schistosomiasis studies in western Kenya have mainly focused on the intestinal form, with evidence of urinary schistosomiasis remaining anecdotal. Detailed disease mapping has been carried out predominantly along the shores of Lake Victoria, but there is a paucity of information on intestinal and urinary sch...
