| Intestinal bilharziasis is becoming more and more frequent among Canadian travellers who come in contact with natural soft waters in tropical countries. |
| It should be emphasised that France has, from the outset, supported the ESPOIR programme to fight bilharziasis and develop a vaccine against this disease. |
| On the health front, the flood period aggravated health hazards, especially water-borne diseases such as bilharziasis, typhoid, viral hepatitis, dysentery and diarrhoea. |
| The aim of the latter units is to provide protection against bilharziasis, malaria and yellow fever and combat mosquitoes, diarrhoea and diseases caused by dehydration. |
| Urinary bilharziasis has typical ultrasonographic features, but may occur with no morphological lesion detectable on ultrasonography. |
| To enable the populations to be protected against bilharziasis thanks to a vaccination developed and tested with the scientific teams, facilities and local clinics. |
