2 de dez. de 2022 · Schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases (STH) are neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) caused by infections with worms. Schistosomiasis is caused by 6 species of trematode: Schistosoma guineensis, S. haematobium, S. intercalatum, S. japonicum, S. mansoni and S. mekongi.

20 de abr. de 2020 · Bilharzia is transmitted when people suffering from schistosomiasis contaminate freshwater sources with their excreta containing parasite eggs, which hatch in water. In the body, the larvae develop into adult worms. These worms live in the blood vessels where the females release eggs. Some of the eggs are passed out of the body in the faeces or ...
26 de jun. de 2022 · Schistosomiasis is caused by several species of trematodes, namely Schistosoma haematobium, S. mansoni, and S. japonicum.
