Schistosomiasis

open access: yesInfectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2012
Human schistosomiasis is a common blood fluke infection in the tropics and subtropics. The organism requires a specific fresh water snail intermediate as host and this determines its geographical distribution. Humans become infected following water exposure, with rural communities and children having the highest burden of disease.

Schistosomiasis

Urologic Nursing, 2013
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection caused by flatworms (trematodes). It is second only to malaria in public health significance, with over 200 million people infected worldwide, leading to severe consequences in 20 million persons and 100,000 deaths, annually.

SCHISTOSOMIASIS

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1993
Schistosomiasis is a curable parasitic infection that, if left untreated, can persist for 30 years even though the parasite cannot reproduce in its human host. Tissue pathology, particularly of the GI and GU tracts, is associated with the granulomatous immune response to parasite eggs.

Glycobiology of schistosomiasis

The FASEB Journal, 1996
Schistosomiasis is a helminthic parasitic disease that results in a wide‐ranging pathology in the approximately 200 million infected people worldwide. Much of the immunity to the parasite is directed against carbohydrate determinants in both glycoproteins and glycolipids from the adult worms and their eggs.

Human schistosomiasis

The Lancet, 2006
Schistosomiasis or bilharzia is a tropical disease caused by worms of the genus Schistosoma. The transmission cycle requires contamination of surface water by excreta, specific freshwater snails as intermediate hosts, and human water contact. The main disease-causing species are S haematobium, S mansoni, and S japonicum.

Schistosomiasis and the kidney

Seminars in Nephrology, 2003
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection that affects 200 million people and is directly responsible for an annual death of 20,000 patients. Three species are responsible for most of the morbidity in humans: Schistosoma hematobium in Africa, S. mansoni in Africa and South America, and S. Japonicum in the Far East. Renal involvement occurs mostly with S.
