BACKGROUND: Schistosoma haematobium infection is a major public health problem in most of Africa and the Middle East and praziquantel remains the only drug used for schistosomiasis control, therefore emergence of drug resistance is unavoidable. The antimalarial artemisinin-naphthoquine phosphate combination (co-ArNp) was recently documented to have promising effects on Schistosoma mansoni and its snail host.
METHODS: We conducted this in vitro study to assess the bioactivity of co-ArNp on S. haematobium and its snail vector Bulinus truncatus.
RESULTS: Treatment of S. haematobium worms with 1 μg/ml co-ArNp for 24 h reduced worm motility, while 20 μg/ml resulted in 25-100% mortality of adult flukes within 48-72 h. Incubation of S. haematobium miracidia and cercariae with the molluscicidal co-ArNp (50% lethal concentration 7.5 μg/ml) killed all the free larval stages within 40 and 15 min, respectively. Also, exposure of B. truncatus adult snails to 20 ppm of the combined regimen caused a mortality rate of 100% within 24 h.
CONCLUSIONS: Co-ArNp therapy has also shown encouraging activity against the other major human schistosome, S. haematobium, as well as its vector.
