Schistosomiasis and Molluscacides [PDF]
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1952 INTRODUCTION The control of schistosomiasis is one of the important problems in modern tropical medicine. An obvious method of combating the disease is to find practical molluscacides to eliminate the snails that serve as intermediate hosts. This approach is of particular interest to the Armed Forces because men operating through an endemic area are ...

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 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 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 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.

AbstractAfter malaria, schistosomiasis (or bilharzia) is the second most prevalent disease in Africa, and is occurring in over 70 countries in tropical and subtropical regions. It is estimated that 600 million people are at risk of infection, 200 million people are infected, and at least 200 000 deaths per year are associated with the disease.

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.
