This species belongs to the unique group of trematodes, where male and females live as adults lifelong (up to 20 years) closely united together, whereby the male worm keeps the female hidden inside a furrow formed by the evolving lateral sides of its flattened body. This construction is also...

Two tables and a figure are used to present the epidemiological and epizoological particulars of Bulinus globosus and Lymnaea natalensis, the intermediate hosts of Schistosoma haematobium and Fasciola gigantica in Southeastern Nigeria. Possible ways of reducing the populations of these intermediate hosts ...
viverrini proteins predicted exhibited the highest degree of sequence similarity (BLASTp, E-value r10 À 5) to those of C. sinensis (13,203; 80.3%), followed by the three human blood flukes (Schistosoma haematobium, Schistosoma japonicum and S. mansoni; 9,317– 9,377; B57%) (...
(Schistosoma haematobium, Schistosoma japonicumandS. mansoni; 9,317–9,377; ~57%) (Supplementary Fig. 4). In total, 8,574 genes were similar among all five fluke species studied; reciprocally, 3,015 genes (18.3%) were unique toO. viverrinirelative to the other four flukes. Considering ...
The parasitic worms which cause bilharziasis in man and domestic animals belong to the genus Schistosoma, a somewhat unusual group of digenetic trematodes or flukes. All of the Digenea have complex life-cycles involving one or more intermediate hosts in

(like HBV) is believed to produce oxidative stress in infected cells and thus to act indirectly through chronic inflammation (62,63). However, other microorganisms, including selected parasites such asOpisthorchis viverriniorSchistosoma haematobiumand bacteria such asHelicobacter pylori, may also be ...
