Schistosome migration in the definitive host

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Schistosomes are parasitic blood flukes that infect >200 million people around the world. Free-swimming larval stages penetrate the skin, invade a blood vessel, and migrate through the heart and lungs to the vasculature of the liver, where maturation and mating occurs. From here, the parasite couples migrate to their preferred egg laying sites.

Multihost Transmission of Schistosoma mansoni in Senegal, 2015–2018

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
In West Africa, Schistosoma spp. are capable of infecting multiple definitive hosts, a lifecycle feature that may complicate schistosomiasis control. We characterized the evolutionary relationships among multiple Schistosoma mansoni isolates collected ...

MORPHOLOGY OF THE LARVAL STAGES OF Elaeophora schneideri IN THE INTERMEDIATE AND DEFINITIVE HOSTS WITH SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THEIR PATHOGENESIS IN ABNORMAL DEFINITIVE HOSTS [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1974
Morphology of the larval stages of Elaeophora schneideri from the horse fly and the normal definitive host (Odocoileus hemionus) are described. Development of larvae in the horsefly begins in the fat bodies, but larvae enter the haemocoele early in the first-stage of development and remain in the haemocoele until they are third-stage (infective) and ...

Contrasting the population genetic structure of a specialist (Hexaglandula corynosoma: Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) and a generalist parasite (Southwellina hispida) distributed sympatrically in Mexico

Parasitology, 2023
Polymorphidae is a monophyletic group of acanthocephalans distributed worldwide. Within this family, Hexaglandula corynosoma is a specialist species that uses a single bird species as a definitive host.
