Schistosoma haematobium and the nephrotic syndrome
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1980Two boys with nephrotic syndrome, membrano-proliferative glomerulo-nephritis and Schistosoma haematobium infection are described. Both showed remission of the nephrotic syndrome soon after the schistosomiasis was treated with niridazole. The significance of heavy proteinuria in schistosomiasis is discussed.

Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium: Differences in development
Experimental Parasitology, 1981Abstract Growth and maturation of the Puerto Rico strain of Schistosoma mansoni in mice and the Ghana strain of Schistosoma haematobium in hamsters were compared beginning 19 days after infection. In S. mansoni, optimum development was determined, with copulation first observed on Day 25, egg shell protein formation observed on Day 28, and ...

Is Schistosoma mansoni Replacing Schistosoma haematobium in the Fayoum?
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1993Schistosoma mansoni is progressively replacing S. haematobium along the Nile River in Egypt. This change has occurred in the past 15-20 years following construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s. The cause is a shift in relative abundance of the snail vectors Biomphalaria alexandrina and Bulinus truncatus.

Granulomatous Dacryoadenitis Caused by Schistosoma haematobium
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1977An 11-year-old boy from Sierra Leone developed a mass in the left lacrimal gland a year after trauma to the left side of the brow. Biopsy of the mass led to the diagnosis of schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium, which had not been suspected previously.

Acquired immunity and epidemiology of Schistosoma haematobium
Nature, 1991Human immune responses to schistosome infection have been characterized in detail. But there has been controversy over the relative importance of ecological factors (variation in exposure to infection) and immunological factors (acquired immunity) in determining the relationships between levels of infection and age typically found in areas where ...

The pathobiology of schistosoma haematobium infection in humans
Human Pathology, 1986Schistosoma haematobium infection is a common occurrence in Africa and the Middle East and is the world's leading cause of hematuria. Since more North Americans are venturing into endemic areas and more residents of endemic areas are seeking medical care in North America, pathologists must be able not only to diagnose urinary schistosomiasis but also ...

The surface structure of the tegument of Schistosoma haematobium
Cell Biology International Reports, 1977The surface structure of the tegument of adult S. haematobium (Egyptian strain) was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Most of the dorsal surface of the male is studded by prominent, spine-covered tubercles, or bosses, not found in the female. Structural details of the oral and ventral suckers and sensory organelles, and local variations in the ...

Schistosoma haematobium infection in children in Britain
BJU International, 2000Objective To highlight the existence of Schistosoma haematobium in certain ethnic minority groups in Britain and in English citizens who have recently visited Africa and the Middle East, so that general practitioners and paediatric nephrologists/urologists are aware of ...

A comparison of some isoenzymes of schistosoma mansoni and schistosoma haematobium
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1970Abstract 1. 1. The electrophoretic separation is described for acid phosphatase, non-specific esterase, leucine amino peptidase, lactase, malate, α-glutamate, glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases from adults of four populations of Schistosoma mansoni and one population of S. haematobium. 2. 2.

Production of Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mansoni cercariae in Tanzania
Experimental Parasitology, 1967Abstract Few Schistosoma haematobium cercariae emerged in darkness, but large numbers did emerge when snails were illuminated after a period in darkness, and the pattern of output was modified in response to alterations in the cycle of illumination. A rise in temperature from 23 °–30 °C stimulated the cercariae to emerge, but the effect of heat was
