The development of low-cost novel diagnostic techniques based on the detection and identification of S. haematobium eggs in urine by AI tools would be a suitable alternative to conventional microscopy in non-endemic settings. This technical proof-of-principle study from Maturana et al allows laying the basis for improving the system, and optimizing its implementation in the laboratories.
