Cercarial Dermatitis or Cercariosis: What's in a Name?

Trends in Parasitology, 2016
'Cercarial dermatitis' is the common scientific name used to describe the allergic response to attacks in humans from nonspecific skin-penetrating cercariae. However, this term may be too narrowly focused and misleading due to numerous factors. The substitution of the broader term 'cercariosis' is suggested for these kinds of infections.

Cercarial dermatitis in the UK

Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2009
'Swimmer's itch' or cercarial dermatitis (CD) results from an immunological reaction to free-swimming non-human schistosome parasites released from aquatic snails. Affected bathers develop a self-limiting, pruritic, macular or papular eruption shortly after leaving the water. The condition is well-recognized in continental Europe, Asia and America, but

Presse medicale (Paris, France : 1983), 2004
A POTENTIAL PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM: Cercarial dermatitis is caused by the infestation of the skin by cercariae of nonhuman schistosomes whose commonest hosts are aquatic birds. Human contamination can occur during swimming in fresh water infested with cercariae and notably ducks.

Geographical distribution of cercarial dermatitis in Norway

Journal of Helminthology, 2010
AbstractBird schistosomes can cause a disease called cercarial dermatitis, or swimmer's itch, in humans. The disease occurs when people have direct contact with fresh water or sea water containing the free-swimming cercariae of the flukes. The symptoms are well known, and include intense itching, maculae, papulae, urticariae and, in some cases, local ...

Schistosomiasis, Cercarial Dermatitis, and Marine Dermatitis

Dermatologic Clinics, 1989
The three anthropophilic species of schistosomes produce local or systemic reactions that are a reflection of host interaction with the stage of the parasite. Dermatitis schistosomica is a transient, local irritant or hypersensitivity reaction during the penetration phase of the cercariae.

Fresh-Water Cercarial Dermatitis from Southern California

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine, 1951
Summary 1.  Natural and experimental dermatitis have been produced by cercariae which emerged from the fresh-water snail, Physa osculans Haldeman, collected in Southern California. 2.  Three types of cercariae, differing in measurements from all previously described species, were found but their taxonomy will be considered in a future paper.

‘Cercarial Dermatitis’ and ‘Cercariosis’: Very Broad Terms

Trends in Parasitology, 2016
The skin reaction caused by the penetration of larval schistosomes in humans has been designated in different ways depending on the geographical area. However, ‘cercarial dermatitis’, a term coined by Vogel in 1930 [1], is widely used for this worldwide emergent disease.
