Résumé

Highlighting recent literature, we review the epidemiological and clinical importance of male genital schistosomiasis (MGS) in Malawi. We then discuss why individual disease management is an unmet public health challenge and outline how future interventions should be better set within routine services of HIV and men's sexual and reproductive health clinics.
