Abstract excerpt

Schistosoma japonicum is an important parasite in terms of clinical, veterinary and socio-economic impacts, and rodents, a long neglected reservoir for the parasite, have recently been found to act as reservoir hosts in some endemic areas of China. Any difference in the host's biological characteristics and/or associated living habitats among rodents may result in different environments for parasites, possibly...
