  • Schistosomiasis in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a Literature Review
    Madinga et al. Parasites & Vectors (2015) 8:601 DOI 10.1186/s13071-015-1206-6 REVIEW Open Access Schistosomiasis in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a literature review Joule Madinga1,2*, Sylvie Linsuke3, Liliane Mpabanzi2, Lynn Meurs2, Kirezi Kanobana2, Niko Speybroeck1, Pascal Lutumba3,4 and Katja Polman2 Abstract Schistosomiasis is a poverty-related parasitic infection, leading to chronic ill-health. For more than a century, schistosomiasis has been known to be endemic in certain provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). However, a clear overview on the status of the disease within the country is currently lacking, which is seriously hampering control. Here, we review the available information on schistosomiasis in DRC of the past 60 years. Findings and data gaps are discussed in the perspective of upcoming control activities. An electronic literature search via PubMed complemented by manual search of non-peer-reviewed articles was conducted up to January 2015. The search concerned all relevant records related to schistosomiasis in the DRC from January 1955 onwards. A total of 155 records were found, of which 30 met the inclusion criteria. Results were summarized by geographical region, mapped, and compared with those reported sixty years ago. The available data reported schistosomiasis in some areas located in 10 of the 11 provinces of DRC. Three species of Schistosoma were found: S. mansoni, S. haematobium and S. intercalatum. The prevalence of schistosomiasis varied greatly between regions and between villages, with high values of up to 95 % observed in some communities. The overall trend over 60 years points to the spread of schistosomiasis to formerly non-endemic areas.

Box 30552 Nairobi, KENYA Tel: +254 (0)20 762 1234 Fax: +254 (0)20 762 3927 E-mail: [email protected] Web: http://www.unep.org About the Post-Conflict Environmental Assessment In response to a request from the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), in 2009 the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) initiated a national, multi-thematic assessment of priority environmental issues facing the country. Within the context of the DRC’s ongoing peace consolidation and economic reconstruction, the main objectives of this assessment were to: (i) provide insight into and raise awareness of the key environmental and natural resource management challenges; and (ii) inform rational planning and help catalyse investments by the government and the international community. UNEP plans to follow up on its comprehensive DRC assessment by developing a country programme which will guide future interventions; this is a successful model implemented in over 10 post-conflict countries since 1999. Following the preparation of detailed scoping and desk studies, 14 separate reconnaissance field visits covering all provinces and eco-regions of the DRC were carried out by a joint UNEP- Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Tourism (MECNT) team. The significant investment in fieldwork covering the whole country is one of the defining features of this assessment, which comprised extensive interviews and focus group discussions, site visits, photographic and video documentation, remote sensing and mapping, and in-situ field measurements as well as sampling for laboratory analysis.

    GESTURE AND POWER The Religious Cultures of African and African Diaspora People Series editors: Jacob K. Olupona, Harvard University Dianne M. Stewart, Emory University and Terrence L. Johnson, Georgetown University The book series examines the religious, cultural, and political expres- sions of African, African American, and African Caribbean traditions. Through transnational, cross- cultural, and multidisciplinary approaches to the study of religion, the series investigates the epistemic boundaries of continental and diasporic religious practices and thought and explores the diverse and distinct ways African- derived religions inform culture and politics. The series aims to establish a forum for imagining the centrality of Black religions in the formation of the “New World.” GESTURE AND POWER Religion, Nationalism, and Everyday Performance in Congo Yolanda Covington- Ward Duke University Press Durham and London 2016 © 2016 Duke University Press All rights reserved Printed in the United States of America on acid- free paper ♾ Typeset in Minion Pro and Avenir by Graphic Composition, Inc., Bogart, Georgia Library of Congress Cataloging- in-Publication Data Covington-Ward, Yolanda, [date] author.
