Morphological and genomic characterisation of the hybrid schistosome infecting humans in Europe reveals a complex admixture between <i>Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma bovis parasites</i>

2018-08-11

Abstract excerpt

Schistosomes cause schistosomiasis, the world’s second most important parasitic disease after malaria. A peculiar feature of schistosomes is their ability to produce viable and fertile hybrids. Originally only present in the tropics, schistosomiasis is now also endemic in Europe. Based on two genetic markers the European species had been identified as a hybrid between the ruminant-infective Schistosoma bovis and...
