The disease is schistosomiasis -
sometimes known as bilharzia.
are thought to have the disease already,
with as many again under threat.
I'm joining the museum parasitologist Dr Russell Stothard and his team.
Every three months,
they visit remote communities like this,
to undertake a pioneering study into the transmission and treatment of the disease.
My name is Chris.
I know.
How does schistosomiasis affect this community?
How is it making these kids feel?
Well, the disease has many manifestations.
Most predominantly it causes
The amounts of blood in the body goes down
and they become anaemic.
And in extreme cases,
we see children who are stunted.
And what's the long-term effect of the disease?
Will it have more serious consequences later in life?
It does kill you.
It takes a long period of time to do that,
so it's a chronic disease.
