| schistosoma japonicum | A species of trematode worm that parasitises humans and that (like s. Mansoni) causes liver and gastrointestinal tract disease. See schistosomiasis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Schistosoma malayensis | A member of the Schistosoma japonicum complex described from the rodent Rattus muelleri in peninsular Malaysia. The aquatic snail Robertsiella kaporensis and two other species of this genus were found to be naturally infected. Schistosoma malayensis is considered most closely related to Schistosoma mekongi. Human infections, based on serological evidence, were reported among the indigenous people of central peninsular Malaysia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| schistosoma mansoni | A species of trematode worm that parasitises humans and that (like s. Japonicum) causes liver and gastrointestinal tract disease. See schistosomiasis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Schistosoma mattheei | A species found in the portal and mesenteric veins of ruminants, primates (including man), zebra, and rodents in Africa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Schistosoma mekongi | The Mekong schistosome, a species described from the Mekong delta near Khong Island in southern Laos and northern Cambodia. Infection rates are highest for ages 7 to 15; dogs appear to be the chief reservoir host; the intermediate host snail is the 3 mm-long operculid snail, Tricula aperta. Pathology is similar to but generally less severe than that of Schistosoma japonicum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Schistosoma protease | <enzyme> Degrades host globin; enzymes from s. Japonicum and s. Mansoni are homologues; amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 3.4.22.- Synonym: haemoglobinase, antigen sm32, schistosoma mansoni, schistosoma mansoni antigen sm32, schistosoma mansoni protease, schistosoma japonicum protease, schistosoma japonicum antigen sj32 (26 Jun 1999) |
| Schistosoma spindale | A species parasitic in the portal and mesenteric veins of ruminants, and occasionally horses and dogs, in Africa, Indo-Pakistan, and Southeast Asia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| schistosomal dermatitis | A sensitization response to repeated cutaneous invasion by cercariae of bird, mammal, or human schistosomes. Synonym: swimmer's itch, water itch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| schistosomatidae | A family of blood flukes of the class trematoda which is found in animals and man. It includes the genera heterobilharzia, schistosomatium, schistosoma, ornithobilharzia, bilharziella, trichobilharzia, pseudobilharzia, and austrobilharzia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| schistosome | Common name for a member of the genus Schistosoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| schistosome granuloma | A granulomatous lesion formed around schistosome eggs embedded in tissues in cases of schistosomiasis (bilharziasis); typically these granulomata are found in intestinal tissues (Schistosoma japonicum or S. Mansoni infection), bladder tissue (S. Haematobium), and hepatic tissue (all human schistosomes). Synonym: bilharzial granuloma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| schistosomia | Synonym: schistocormia. Origin: schisto-+ G. Soma, body (05 Mar 2000) |
| schistosomiasis | Disease (bilharzia) caused by digenetic trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma, the adults of which live in the urinary or mesenteric blood vessels. Eggs shed by the female worms pass to the outside in the urine or faeces, but many also lodge in and obstruct the blood flow in the liver. Eosinophils seem to be particularly important in the killing of the invasive larval stage (schistosomulum). Evasion of the host's immune response by adult schistosomes seems to involve the acquisition of a coat of host cell surface material by the parasite. (18 Nov 1997) |
| schistosomiasis haematobia | Schistosomiasis caused by schistosoma haematobium. It is endemic in africa and parts of the middle east, and affects the urinary tract. (12 Dec 1998) |
| schistosomiasis haematobium | Infection with Schistosoma haematobium, the eggs of which invade the urinary tract, causing cystitis and haematuria, and possibly an increased likelihood of bladder cancer. Synonym: bladder schistosomiasis, Egyptian haematuria, endemic haematuria, urinary schistosomiasis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| schistosomiasis |
Also known as bilharziasis, this a disease caused by blood flukes (see helminths). The flukes live in the venules of the large intestine (Schistosoma mansoni), small intestine (S. japonicum) and urinary bladder (S. haematobium), and have limited pathogenic effects. Symptoms appear upon the release of eggs which cause ulceration and abscesses of the intestinal or urinary walls, leading to bloody diarrhoea or urine and abdominal pain. S. mansoni is the most common causative organism and S. ...

| schistosomiasis |
A tropical disease spread by parasitic trematode worms, known as blood flukes, living in fresh water. These worms can live in a person and lay thousands of eggs over the course of several years. Symptoms include rash or itchy skin, fever, chills, muscle aches, and possible damage to the liver, intestines, lungs, and bladder.
