There is a lack of automated pipelines for diagnostic classification of point-of-care tests for neglected tropical diseases. Here we present an end-to-end automated pipeline for the analysis of point-of-care circulating cathodic antigen tests for schistosomiasis. We incorporated deep learning for cassette segmentation with signal processing. Automated classifications were compared to quantitative readings from cal…
BackgroundAs the deadline for eliminating schistosomiasis approaches, more targeted and effective interventions should be proposed. We aimed to understand the burden among various gender, ages, countries, and continents and to analyze the trends in the burden of schistosomiasis from 1990 to 2041. MethodsThis study utilizes data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 to analyze the schistosomiasis burden tren…
