intestinal schistosomiasis

This species is medically important pest, because of transferring the disease intestinal schistosomiasis.

It causes intestinal schistosomiasis in the ruminants.

(Intestinal schistosomiasis is the most widespread of all types of schistosomiasis).

The schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma mansoni is intestinal schistosomiasis.

Biomphalaria straminea is an intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni and a vector of intestinal schistosomiasis.

In intestinal schistosomiasis, eggs become lodged in the intestinal wall and cause an immune system reaction called a granulomatous reaction.

Schistosoma mansoni infects about 83.31 million people worldwide, causing the disease intestinal schistosomiasis (schistosomiasis caused by all the Schistosoma species infects over 200 million people.)

The definitive hosts of Schistosoma spindale are (mainly) ruminants and Schistosoma spindale cause intestinal schistosomiasis of ruminants (Artiodactyla, Ruminantia).

Recently a field evaluation of a novel handheld microscope was undertaken in Uganda for the diagnosis of intestinal schistosomiasis by a team led by Dr. Russell Stothard from the Natural History Museum of London, working with the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, London.
