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.

Schistosomiasis is caused by trematode worms Schistosoma spp., whose life cycle requires a definitive vertebrate host and an intermediate freshwater snail host. Transmission to humans occurs through exposure to fresh water containing infectious larvae, which can penetrate intact skin before developing into blood-dwelling adult worms.

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.

Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2004
Schistosomiasis is a common intravascular trematode infection. The snail/human lifecycle is illustrated. Travellers who acquire the infection are often asymptomatic, but nearly always give a history of fresh water exposure in endemic countries when asked.

Schistosomiasis is a major cause of morbidity in the world; it is second only to malaria as a major infectious disease. Globally, it is estimated that the disease affects over 250 million people in 78 countries of the world and is responsible for some 280,000 deaths each year.

The immunobiology of schistosomiasis
Nature Reviews Immunology, 2002Schistosomes are parasitic worms that are a prime example of a complex multicellular pathogen that flourishes in the human host despite the development of a pronounced immune response. Understanding how the immune system deals with such pathogens is a daunting challenge.

Schistosomiasis is an infection of trematodes, Schistosoma, causing periportal fibrosis and liver cirrhosis due to deposition of eggs in the small portal venules. In schistosomiasis caused by S. mansoni, sonography shows echogenic thickening or fibrotic band along the portal veins.

On eradication of schistosomiasis
Theoretical Population Biology, 1976Abstract Eradication of schistosomiasis from an isolated community is discussed. A mathematical model is used to derive conditions under which eradication results from the administration of a single dose of drugs to the human population. It is shown that this mode of eradication is facilitated by a control program that is directed at such changes of ...

Emmunodiagnosis of Schistosomiasis
Immunological Investigations, 1997The most efficacious and practical means of diagnosing human schistosomiasis is based on the detection of infection-specific antibodies. Because of their high sensitivity and specificity, antibody assays remain the most practical assays for epidemiologic studies and patient management.
