Caption
A vaccine to treat what some call a "neglected disease" is showing promising results. Schistosomiasis primarily affects impoverished communities outside of the U.S. Hundreds of millions of people carry the disease. Still, there is only one drug available for treatment, and it doesn’t prevent reinfection. Now, research shows that at new vaccine called SchistoShield® can both treat and prevent this disease.
