Competing Interests: JKN is a founding member of JRJ Health, a health-promoting association based in Cameroon and has received funding to conduct research on schistosomiasis and train graduate students in Cameroon and South Africa from the UK Royal Society, the African Academy of Sciences, and research funds and support from Ares Trading, an affiliate of Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). The views expressed were made in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest as the reported funding bodies were not involved in the conceptualisation, design, decision to publish, and preparation of the present commentary.
