This pilot study, "GynoBizh," investigates the frequency and clinical characteristics of female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) among migrant women from sub-Saharan Africa living in non-endemic countries. Schistosomiasis is a significant global parasitic disease, with a high seroprevalence in migrants. The study aims to assess the presence of genital lesions through gynecological examinations, colposcopy, and molecular tests, identifying diagnostic markers and associated health conditions. Fifty participants will be followed over a year to improve understanding and management of FGS in underserved populations.
