Resumen

Schistosomiasis is an extremely prevalent disease in the Philippines, due to factors related to the socio-economic context of the population, like the lack of nourishment or the contact with contaminated water, which facilitates the infection. The main problem is that control measures affect directly to the survival of these communities. Therefore, prevention is focused on giving Praziquantel to the Philippine population aged over 2. Nevertheless, it is an ineffective drug, and due to social and political reasons, PZQ does not have the right coverage. Given that Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease closely connected with poverty it is still far from eradication in the Philippines.
