Deep learning-based automated detection and multiclass classification of soil-transmitted helminths and Schistosoma mansoni eggs in fecal smear images.

Scientific reports Jul 1, 2025
In this work, we developed an automated system for the detection and classification of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) and Schistosoma (S.) mansoni eggs in microscopic images of fecal smears. We assembled an STH and S. mansoni dataset comprising ove...

AI-supported versus manual microscopy of Kato-Katz smears for diagnosis of soil-transmitted helminth infections in a primary healthcare setting.

Scientific reports Jun 27, 2025
Soil-transmitted helminths primarily comprise Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms, infecting more than 600 million people globally, particularly in underserved communities. Manual microscopy of Kato-Katz thick smears is a widely ...

A comprehensive evaluation of an artificial intelligence based digital pathology to monitor large-scale deworming programs against soil-transmitted helminths: A study protocol.

PloS one Oct 28, 2024
BACKGROUND: Manual screening of a Kato-Katz (KK) thick stool smear remains the current standard to monitor the impact of large-scale deworming programs against soil-transmitted helminths (STHs). To improve this diagnostic standard, we recently design...

Artificial intelligence-based digital pathology for the detection and quantification of soil-transmitted helminths eggs.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases Sep 30, 2024
BACKGROUND: Conventional microscopy of Kato-Katz (KK1.0) thick smears, the primary method for diagnosing soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, has limited sensitivity and is error-prone. Artificial intelligence-based digital pathology (AI-DP) m...
