Case description

Most human schistosomiasis is caused by Schistosoma haematobium, Schistosoma mansoni, or Schistosoma japonicum. Less prevalent species such as Schistosoma mekongi and Schistosoma intercalatum also may cause systemic human disease. Less importantly, other schistosomes with avian or mammalian primary hosts can cause severe dermatitis in humans (eg, swimmer's itch secondary to Trichobilharzia ocellata)
