During this period, 129,526 cases were recorded in Morocco. A majority of cases were reported in Agadir province (25%), Errachidia (18%), and Beni Mellal (13%). Other cases have been reported in the other provinces. Activities within the National Schistosomiasis Control Programme for more than three decades were focused in priori on screening in schools located in high-risk communities, treatment program, surveillance of snails in water bodies, and mollusciciding. Then, the goal of eliminating the transmission of schistosomiasis has been reached in 2004. Sixteen years later, no indigenous cases were detected in Morocco, and only 25 residual cases (resulting from bilharziasis previously treated) are detected, such as in Tata ( 40%), Errachidia (16%), and (12%) in Marrackesh. Similarly, recent national studies conducted on children and the snail reservoir hosts have indicated that no human and molluscs are currently infected with Schistosoma haematobium. Actually, timely investigation and management of imported cases has been implemented to prevent the reintroduction of the disease. The Ministry of Health is planning to implement final confirmatory surveys before requesting WHO to proceed with the formal verification process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/3868970","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,15]],"date-time":"2020-10-15T19:05:49Z","timestamp":1602788749000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Review of the Urinary Schistosomiasis Control in Morocco (1960\u20132018)"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9024-4898","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"A.","family":"Balahbib","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biodiversity, Ecology and Genome, Faculty of Sciences, Mohammed V University, Rabat 10106, Morocco"},{"name":"National Reference Laboratory of Schistosomiasis and Malacology, Parasitology Department, National Institute of Hygiene, Agdal, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9038-0128","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"F.","family":"Amarir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Immunology and Biodiversity, Biology Department, Faculty of Sciences Ain Chock, University Hassan II, Casablanca, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Bouhout","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Direction of Epidemiology and Disease Control (DELM), Ministry of Health, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Rhajaoui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Reference Laboratory of Schistosomiasis and Malacology, Parasitology Department, National Institute of Hygiene, Agdal, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3424-0104","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"E.","family":"Adlaoui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Reference Laboratory of Schistosomiasis and Malacology, Parasitology Department, National Institute of Hygiene, Agdal, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Sadak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biodiversity, Ecology and Genome, Faculty of Sciences, Mohammed V University, Rabat 10106, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"43","volume-title":"Rapport d\u2019un comit\u00e9 d\u2019experts, lutte conte la schistosomiase","author":"Organisation mondiale de la sant\u00e9","year":"1985"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(96)01511-5"},{"key":"3","volume-title":"Schistosomiasis: Progress Report 2001\u20132011 and Strategic Plan 2012\u20132020","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2013"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2011.10-0378"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1756-3305-7-288"},{"issue":"9","key":"6","first-page":"1167","article-title":"Contribution of mobile teams to efforts to eliminate schistosomiasis at schistosoma haematobium in Morocco- narrative review article","volume":"43","author":"H.
