SchistosomiasisSchistosomiasis (otherwise called Biliharziasis) is a gathering of sicknesses brought
about by the sort of Schistosoma influencing mostly the gastrointestinal and
genitourinary organs.
Life cycle:
Schistosomiasis in man is brought about by five types of Schistosoma:
S. mansoni
S. haematobium
S. japonicum-in southeast Asia
S. making-in Southeast Asia (Cambodia)
S. intercalatum - endemic in Congo bowl
The initial three are normal reasons for schistosomiasis. S. haematobium is the
reason for urinary schistosomiasis and the remainder cause gastrointestinal
schistosomiasis.
• Dissemination is overall where proper snails are available. S. mansoni is
accounted for from Africa, Asia, Central, and S. America, and Europe, and S.
haematobium is endemic in most of Africa and West Asia. The other three species
have restricted appropriation. In Ethiopia, just S. mansoni and S. haematobium
are endemic. S. mansoni has more extensive dissemination in the lower good
country areas of Ethiopia between 1000-2000 meters elevation. S. haematobium
is endemic to marshes of Ethiopia.
• It is sent by cercarial skin entrance which requires contact with water bodies
containing cercaria getting away from proper snail have. This is energized by
restricted clean offices (absence of protected and sufficient H2O supply and
lavatories) unsatisfactory sterile practices, utilization of water for the water
system, obliviousness, destitution, and populace developments.
