  • Descrição: Schistosomiasis is a neglected disease that strikes many people from tropical and subtropical countries where there are not satisfactory sanitation and wide access to clean water. Schistosoma spp., the causative agents of schistosomiasis, exhibit a quite complex life cycle that involves two hosts (humans and snails, respectively, the definitive and the intermediate), and five evolutive forms: cercariae (human infective form), schistosomula, adult worms, eggs, and miracidia. The techniques to diagnose schistosomiasis still have various limitations, mainly regarding low-intensity infections. Although various mechanisms associated with schistosomiasis have already been evidenced, there is still a need to fulfill the comprehension of this disease, especially to prospect for novel biomarkers to improve its diagnosis. Developing methods with more sensitivity and portability to detect the infection is valuable to reach schistosomiasis control. In this context, this review has gathered information not only on schistosomiasis biomarkers but also on emerging optical and electrochemical tools proposed in selected studies from about the last ten years. Aspects of the assays regarding the sensibility, specificity, and time needed for detecting diverse biomarkers are described. We hope this review can guide future developments in the field of schistosomiasis, contributing to improving its diagnosis and eradication. [Display omitted] •Biomarkers associated with schistosomiasis are reported.•Electrochemical and optical platforms to detect schistosomiasis are described.•Immunosensors and genosensors have been used in electrochemical approaches.•Absorption, luminescence, and LSPR have been explored in the optical tools.•This review can guide new developments in the field of schistosomiasis diagnosis.
