Other schistosomiases - what does this mean
Other schistosomiases are caused by a parasitic worm known as schistosoma. these worms are transmitted through contact with contaminated water, such as lakes, rivers, and streams, where the larvae of the parasite can penetrate the skin and cause an infection. symptoms can include fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. treatment typically involves medications to kill the parasite.
What happens during the disease - other schistosomiases
Other schistosomiases is an umbrella term for a variety of diseases caused by different species of parasitic worms from the schistosoma genus. the worms enter the human body through contact with contaminated water, where they burrow through the skin and migrate to the veins, where they reproduce and lay eggs. the eggs are then released into the environment and can be re-ingested, leading to a cycle of infection. symptoms of other schistosomiases can vary depending on the species of worm, but can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, and anemia.
