3 DEFINITION Schistosomiasis is one of the most important parasitic diseases of humans and is a global public health problem in the developing world
DEFINITION The disease is caused by trematodes of the genus Schistosoma, which cause periportal fibrosis and liver cirrhosis owing to deposition of eggs in the small portal venules Schistosoma mansoni and schistosoma japonicum lead to liver disease

History Schistosomiasis is known as bilharzia or bilharziosis in many countries, after German physician Theodor Bilharz. who first described the cause of urinary schistosomiasis in 1851 The first doctor who described the entire disease cycle was Piraja da silva in 1908 It was a common cause of death for Ancient Egyptians in the greco-Roman period

The Pathogen Five major species of Schistosoma affect humans: s. mansonis haematobium. s japonicum, S intercalatum, and S. mekongi Other Schistosoma species that occasionally infect humans include s. bovis.s. mattheei and some avian schistosomes

The Pathogen These species differ biologically from one another and in their geographic distribution and the type of disease that they produce The schistosomes are digenetic parasitic trematodes. Although they are morphologically distinct, the species of Schistosoma that infect humans share some common factors

EPIDEMIOLOGY Schistosomiasis occurs mainly in rural agricultural and periurban areas. Infection with S. mansoni is found in parts of South America Africa and the middle east Infection with S japonicum is found in the Far east mostly China and the philippines In China, 0.67%of the population may be infected, according to cdc statistical report at 2008
