| 7: | Untitled Problem and Background Biology and Ecology of Schistosomiasis Schistosomiasis is considered second only to malaria in human impact among tropical diseases. It affects perhaps 200 million people in the world, virtually all of them living in developing countries (Doumenge, 1987). The two most common parasite species causing schistosomiasis in Africa, Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium, are parasitic helminths (worms) that live in the large blood vessels of the abdomen and urinary system, respectively. Schistosomiasis is transmitted by contact with water containing the infective agent, a free-swimming larvae (cercariae) that penetrates the skin and enters blood vessels. Once inside the body, the parasite matures into an adult worm. Worms mate in the body and the female releases eggs, many of which are excreted through urine (schistosomiasis haematobium) or feces (schistosomiasis mansoni). The remaining eggs lodge in the body, causing tissue and organ damage. ... http://www.ncgia.ucsb.edu/~vanzuyle/thesis/Problem.html |
