Avian Schistosomes and Outbreaks of Cercarial Dermatitis [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2015 SUMMARYCercarial dermatitis (swimmer's itch) is a condition caused by infective larvae (cercariae) of a species-rich group of mammalian and avian schistosomes. Over the last decade, it has been reported in areas that previously had few or no cases of dermatitis and is thus considered an emerging disease.
