In the lower basin of the Senegal River, "schisto" is effortless to contract: As soon as your skin touches contaminated water, you can pick up parasitic worms that later cause problems ranging from diarrhea to bladder cancer. A shellfish may change that. alu.ms/3n89nlZ

"We’re talking about a disease of poverty. It’s in rural areas ... where there’s no easy access to piped, clean water," says Giulio De Leo, a @stanforddoerr prof of oceans testing out an unconventional solution to control schistosomiasis in Senegal. stanfordmag.org//contents/ju…

In @TheLancetPlanet we show that nearly 80% of human infectious diseases are environmentally mediated, and that the largest global driver of environmentally mediated disease burden in a country is rural poverty. bit.ly/3fYjzKg
