Introduction:
Schistosomiasis is a deadly disease caused by three types of parasitic worms called

Schifimbus hematopoietic, Schispensula japonica, and Schizophrenia mansoni.
Schistosomiasis spreads all over the world, infecting about 200 million people in
Africa, South America, and some Caribbean islands. General disease 1851 AD.
Schistosomiasis worms belong to the genus Schistosoma. These small worms live
part of their life cycle as parasites in some freshwater snails. After leaving the snail,
the worms swim freely in the water. They may penetrate the skin of a person
swimming or diving in the water in which the worms are present. In the end, the
worms invade the stream. blood and settle in small veins close to the bladder or
intestines, males and females fully developed from those worms live in a natural
organic bond, and the eggs move daily to the blood vessels, pour into the intestines
and bladder and come out with feces and urine, however some of these eggs make
their way to the organs others such as the liver and spleen .

Schistosomiasis:
It is a disease caused by the bloody fluke worm, which is a parasitic worm that lives
in contaminated water, and is transmitted to the human body through the skin, to live
in the blood vessels and be transmitted inside the body with the blood. This worm
usually infects the urinary system and intestines, but it may infect all organs of the
body. The other also, and it is a non-communicable disease between people except in
the presence of water that was contaminated by an infected person.
Schistosomiasis life cycle:
In humans, schistosomiasis eggs are excreted in the feces or urine into water.
In the water, the eggs hatch, releasing immature schistosomiasis larvae (parasites
called miracidia).
Parasites swim up and enter the snail.
Inside the snail, the parasites develop into sporocysts and then into a form (called a
cercaria) that has a forked tail and can swim in water.
Calves are released from the snail into the water, and burrow into the skin of people
who enter the water.
When the cirrhosis penetrates the skin, it loses its tail and becomes a schistosomula.
These schistosomula progenitors then travel to the liver, where they mature into adult
worms.
Male and female worms mate together and migrate to the veins in the intestine or
bladder (depending on the species). There, where they remain, the females begin
laying eggs.
Infection and disease transmission:
People become infected when the larvae of the parasite released by freshwater snails
penetrate their skin when they come into contact with contaminated water.
Transmission occurs when people with schistosomiasis contaminate fresh water

sources with feces or urine that contain the eggs of the parasite that hatch in the water.

In the human body, the larvae turn into adult worms. Adult worms live in blood
vessels and female worms lay their eggs there. Some of these eggs are shed outside
the body in the stool or urine to continue the parasite's life cycle. As for the rest of
the eggs, they remain trapped inside the tissues of the body and cause immune
reactions and gradual damage to the organs.
What are the symptoms of intestinal schistosomiasis infection?
In many cases, the person with schistosomiasis does not show any symptoms, but the
parasite can settle in the body for months or even years and cause damage, and the
symptoms of schistosomiasis do not arise from the worms that cause it, but rather
from the body’s interaction with the eggs of these worms, and infections may occur
without symptoms.
Infection with intestinal schistosomiasis can cause a range of symptoms, including:
abdominal pain
Diarrhea.
blood in the stool
Hepatomegaly in advanced cases.
Fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity.
High blood pressure in the blood vessels of the abdominal region.
Risk factors:
Living in or traveling to areas where schistosomiasis is found.
Contact with contaminated fresh water.
Areas with poor sanitation.

Diagnosis of schistosomiasis:
The diagnosis of the disease requires an appropriate epidemiological background, but

the final confirmation of the case is made after finding eggs in:
Urine examination.
stool sample.
It is preferable to collect urine within 4 hours during the noon hours, in early cases
antibiotics can be found, and in chronic cases the abdomen is swollen with an
enlarged liver or spleen (Hepatosplenomegaly).
How to prevent schistosomiasis:
How to prevent schistosomiasis is one of the important things that people must take
into account in order to protect themselves from infection with schistosomiasis. One
of the most important ways to prevent schistosomiasis is:
Beware of being in swimming pools or playing in fresh water permanently.
How to prevent schistosomiasis is to boil the water used for use for one minute, in
order to get rid of parasites, after that the water is cooled before bathing to avoid
infection with schistosomiasis.
Be sure to drink boiled water or filtered water that proves that it is free of parasites.
Although schistosomiasis is not transmitted to a person by drinking contaminated
water, if contaminated water reaches a person's lips, he may become infected with
schistosomiasis.
Using an insect repellent that contains 50% of diethyltoluamide, which helps to

eradicate schistosomiasis.
How to prevent schistosomiasis lies in drying the skin well with a towel after using
water contaminated with schistosomiasis, in order to prevent it from reaching the skin.

summary:
Intestinal schistosomiasis is a disease caused by a parasite infection called

schistosomiasis, which can be transmitted when in contaminated environments. This
parasite causes disease in the infected person when the body interacts with its eggs.
The doctor can detect it by conducting a urine and stool examination, and it is treated
with antihelminthic drugs.
