Abstract
Schistosomiasis is a widespread disease that can cause serious health issues if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Fortunately, there is an effective and safe treatment available: praziquantel. In countries with a high influx of migrants from schistosomiasis-endemic regions, it is crucial to ensure the availability of praziquantel. This discussion will address the barriers and the need for praziquantel in Italy.
