Abstract excerpt

In Asia, Schistosoma japonicum infects humans and many animal species, making it a zoonotic disease. In Africa, the two major species infecting humans are Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium, which cause mesenteric and urogenital schistosomiasis, respectively. Despite the significance of these parasitic infections for human health, few studies have examined the zoonotic aspects of these parasites. In...
