Schistosomiasis8
  • Soil-transmitted helminthiasis and schistosomiasis are the most important helminthiases, and are among the neglected tropical diseases. (wikipedia.org)
  • Human schistosomiasis is not acquired by contact with brackish or saltwater (oceans or seas). (cdc.gov)
  • Schistosomiasis distribution is very focal and determined by the presence of competent snail intermediate hosts, inadequate sanitation, and infected humans. (cdc.gov)
  • Travelers should view with skepticism any local claim that a body of freshwater is free from schistosomiasis. (cdc.gov)
  • Clinical manifestations of chronic schistosomiasis are the result of host immune responses to schistosome eggs. (cdc.gov)
  • After malaria and intestinal helminthiasis, schistosomiasis is the third most devastating tropical disease in the world, being a major source of morbidity and mortality for developing countries in Africa, South America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Asia. (medscape.com)
  • Most human schistosomiasis is caused by S haematobium, S mansoni , and S japonicum . (medscape.com)
  • Schistosomiasis transmission cannot occur from person to person without the freshwater snail as host and without water contact. (infontd.org)
Mammalian3
  • Less importantly, other schistosomes with avian or mammalian primary hosts can cause severe dermatitis in humans (eg, swimmer's itch secondary to Trichobilharzia ocellata ). (medscape.com)
  • Cercariae penetrate the skin of humans or, in the case of S. japonicum, humans and other mammalian hosts that act as reservoirs for infection. (wikitropica.org)
  • Schistosomes develop multiple body plans while navigating their complex life cycle, which involves two different hosts: a mammalian definitive host and a molluscan intermediate host. (bvsalud.org)
Intestinal1
  • The digestive system begins with the mouth opening, which leads to the mouth capsule, on its ventral side there is a stylet with which the parasite is attached to the intestinal mucosa of the host. (stop-seizures-meds.com)
Penetrate3
  • Waterborne transmission occurs when larval cercariae, found in contaminated bodies of freshwater, penetrate the skin. (cdc.gov)
  • As the eggs penetrate the urinary system, they can find their way to the female genital region and form granulomas in the uterus, fallopian tube, and ovaries. (medscape.com)
  • It is transmitted when larvae, released by freshwater snails, penetrate human skin when in contact with infested water. (infontd.org)
Infection6
  • Helminthiasis, also known as worm infection, is any macroparasitic disease of humans and other animals in which a part of the body is infected with parasitic worms, known as helminths. (wikipedia.org)
  • These 2 species are rarely reported causes of human infection. (cdc.gov)
  • Symptoms depend upon worm load (number of worms), anatomical location of parasites, duration of infection and host immune system reactions. (wikitropica.org)
  • One of the main risk factors for the infection and development of human toxocariasis, is to cohabit with puppies and kittens. (scielo.org.co)
  • Symptoms of infection in humans include cough, muscle aches, runny nose and sore throat. (who.int)
  • Host-pathogen interactions and responses to infection are dynamic processes involving multiple pathways in the immune system. (webot.org)
Infect humans1
  • Five species of schistosomes are known to infect humans and lay eggs (complete their life cycle). (wikitropica.org)
Snails3
  • The specific snail intermediate hosts can be difficult to identify, and laboratory testing is the only way to determine whether snails are infected with human schistosome species. (cdc.gov)
  • In 2003, a S mansoni-S rodhaini hybrid was found in snails, the intermediate host, in Kenya. (medscape.com)
  • After swimming around for a while, a miracidium penetrates a snail (each parasite species is restricted to its own range of host snails). (wikitropica.org)
Schistosomes1
  • This has occurred in marshlands, leading to "hybrid" species of schistosomes, which have re-infected humans, usually from the same supply sources. (medscape.com)
Mekongi2
  • S. mekongi , found in Cambodia and Laos, and S. intercalatum , found in parts of Central and West Africa. (cdc.gov)
  • Less prevalent species, such as S mekongi and S intercalatum , may also cause systemic human disease. (medscape.com)
Chronic1

Eggs4
  • The eggs from human excreta and urine have been found in endemic water supplies. (medscape.com)
  • Central nervous system (CNS) involvement occurs because of embolization of eggs from the portal mesenteric system to the brain and spinal cord via the paravertebral venous plexus. (medscape.com)
  • If many eggs are introduced, the entire body may be infected. (parazitiintestinali.com)
  • The eggs they produce and release are spread via blood throughout the body and can get trapped in organ tissues, such as the liver, the bladder, the lungs, and even the brain, leading to inflammation and damage. (infontd.org)
Cercariae2
  • Transmission via skin contact with fresh water containing larvae (cercariae) released by intermediate host. (wikitropica.org)
  • Once in the human body, the cercariae lose their bifurcated tail and develop further into schistosomula. (wikitropica.org)
Circulatory2
  • These substances then enter the circulatory and lymphatic systems of the host body. (wikipedia.org)
  • Some larvae of worms move through the body through the circulatory system and randomly attach to any organ. (parazitiintestinali.com)

Immune system3
  • The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and to further recognize and destroy any of the microorganisms associated with that agent that it may encounter in the future. (webot.org)
  • Failure may also occur for host-related reasons if the host's immune system does not respond adequately or at all. (webot.org)
  • [26] One type of primary immunodeficiency disorder resulting in genetic failure is X-linked agammaglobulinemia , in which the absence of an enzyme essential for B cell development prevents the host's immune system from generating antibodies to a pathogen . (webot.org)
Organs1

Parasites3
  • The helminthic parasites (simply worms) are divided into two categories, which correspond to the site of activity in the donor's body. (parazitiintestinali.com)
