Schistosoma haematobium is a seriously neglected parasite that infects > 100 million people. Chronic infection severely affects the urino-genital system and causes malignant bladder cancer. Advanced technologies will be used to explore, for the first time, the molecular biology of this parasite, design new strategies to fight this insidious pathogen and understand how it induces cancer.

埃及血吸虫是一种被严重忽视的寄生虫，感染了1亿人。慢性感染严重影响泌尿生殖系统，并导致恶性膀胱癌。先进的技术将首次用于探索这种寄生虫的分子生物学，设计新的策略来对抗这种阴险的病原体，并了解它如何诱发癌症。
