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...
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 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...
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

Other available control approaches include environmental management, health education, and intermediate host snail control, which is 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 ...
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...
mansoni and other spp.) would help to support any differences observed here. Conclusion This study has highlighted a significant decrease in fecundity in both praziquantel-susceptible and praziquantel-resistant S. mansoni lines with treatment. The effect of praziquantel had a larger impact on fecundity...
We combined whole organism and single cell transcriptome data for various life cycle stages of the parasite and found that plexin domain-containing proteins are exclusively overexpressed in the tegument of the intra-molluscan stages of the parasite (Fig.3B). This hints at a specific functional role...
