Comparative performance of Kato–Katz, POC-CCA and real-time PCR in detecting Schistosoma mansoni infection at different endemicity settings in northwest Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Effective detection of Schistosoma mansoni is crucial for the control and management of the infection. This study aimed to evaluate the field performance of three diagnostic methods—point-of-care circulating cathodic antigen (POC-CCA) assay, Kato–Katz (KK) technique, and real-tim...
