Schistosoma is a type of schistosome, and its life history includes adult, egg, miracidium, sporocysts, cercariae, and schistosomula. Its life cycle begins with the hatching of eggs upon exposure to fresh water, releasing miracidia, which then infect intermediate host snails and produce cercariae...
The life cycle of Opistorchis spp. and C. sinensis is shown in Fig. 2. These species follow a three-host life cycle. Human infection follows the consumption of raw or undercooked fish harbouring infective metacercariae. Adult worms inhabit into the intrahepatic bile duct, but they also can ...
Schistosoma japonicum is a widespread human and animal parasite that causes intestinal and hepatosplenic schistosomiasis linked to colon, liver and bladder cancers, and anemia. Estimated 230 million people are currently infected with Schistosoma spp, wit
sp. could not be described, but its life cycle involves Chilina spp. and C. melancoryphus. Scanning electron microscopy of T. querquedulae revealed additional, undescribed morphological traits, highlighting its diagnostic importance. Authors stress the need for additional surveys of avian schistosoma...
the most practical approach to interrupt the schistosome life cycle [2,5]. The molluscicide recommended by WHO is niclosamide, which is the principal compound used for controlling snail populations. There are certain limitations to using niclosamide, including limitations to the usage of potable ...

Schistosoma mansoni life cycle representing the separated sexes of the parasite. Sexual reproduction occurs between male and female adult worms in the vertebrate definitive host. Sex determination is syngamic, thus one egg produces either a male or a female larva (called miracidium). This larva act...

The life cycle of all human schistosomes includes the release ofparasiteeggs from infected individuals into the environment, hatching on contact withfresh waterto release free-swimmingmiracidia. Miracidia infect freshwatersnailsand eventually transform into cercariae, which are small motile larvae that a...
There are five species ofschistosomathat can infect humans.Schistosomamansoniis most common in Africa and South America. Infection is common in fresh water areas where thesnailBiomphalariaspp. resides, an intermediate host in the life cycle of schistosoma.171Infection can be chronic or acute, which...
