Schistosoma is a genus of trematodes, commonly known as blood flukes.

Schistosomiasis (Bilharziasis) is caused by some species of blood trematodes (flukes) in the genus Schistosoma. The three main species infecting humans are S chistosoma haematobium, S. japonicum, and S. mansoni.

裂体吸虫(Schistosome)成虫寄生于哺乳动物（包括人）的静脉血管内，亦称血吸虫或住血吸虫。 寄生人体的血吸虫主要有6种，即日本血吸虫(Schistosoma japonicum)，埃及血吸虫(S．haematobium)，曼氏血吸虫(S．mansoni)，间插血吸虫(S．intercalatum)，湄公血吸虫(S．mekongi)和马来 ...

2023年2月1日 · Schistosomiasis is an acute and chronic parasitic disease caused by blood flukes (trematode worms) of the genus Schistosoma. Estimates show that at least 251.4 million people required preventive treatment in 2021. Preventive treatment, which should be repeated over a number of years, will reduce and prevent morbidity.

Schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever, bilharzia, and Katayama fever[1][2][9] is a disease caused by parasitic flatworms called schistosomes. [5] . It affects the urinary tract or the intestines. [5] . Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, or blood in the urine. [5] .

2024年6月17日 · Schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia, is a disease caused by parasitic worms. More than 200 million people worldwide are infected. Schistosomiasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). It is the second most dangerous parasitic disease after malaria. The parasites that cause schistosomiasis live in certain types of freshwater snails.

2024年3月11日 · Schistosomiasis incubates for 14 – 84 days for people with acute infection. Chronic schistosomiasis results from the hosts' immune response to the schistosome eggs. There are multiple ways to test for schistosomiasis. Praziquantel can treat infections from all major Schistosoma species.

2018年8月9日 · Schistosomiasis (bilharzia) is a neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic flatworms (blood flukes) of the genus Schistosoma, with considerable morbidity in parts of the Middle East, South...

2024年11月29日 · Schistosomiasis is a disease of poverty that leads to chronic ill-health. Infection is acquired when people come into contact with fresh water infested with the larval forms (cercariae) of parasitic blood flukes, known as schistosomes. The microscopic adult worms live in the veins draining the urinary tract and intestines.

Schistosomes are trematode worms (‘flukes’) belonging to the phylum Platyhelminthes. The adult worms live in the vascular system of birds and mammals (‘blood flukes’). Other pathologically important Platyhelminthes include the digenetic trematodes Opisthorchis, Clonorchis, Paragonimus, Fasciolopsis and Fasciola and the cestodes (tapeworms).
