 Evolution of Schistosoma mansoni
Before we can fully comprehend how human schistosomes will respond to both present and future attempts at drug- or vaccine-mediated control, we need to better understand their basic biology.
One of the keys to understanding schistosome biology is to understand their obligatory relationships with snails.
Such techniques have never been applied to a comprehensive series of samples representing the entire geographic range of S. mansoni or of any other human schistosome.

 Snails as intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni
Picture left: Schistosoma mansoni — one of the pathogen causes responsible for the illness Bilharziosis or Schistosomiasis.
Bilharziosis or Bilharzias is a tropical illness named after the German doctor Theodor Bilharz, who found it in 1852.
For example the alternate host to Schistosoma mansoni is Biomphalaria glabrata and other members of this genus, part of the ramshorn snail family (Planorbidae).

Blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma (Platyhelminthes, Trematoda, Digenea) are responsible for the chronic debilitating disease schistosomiasis / bilharzia, widely considered to be second only to malaria as a global health problem and an incalculable drain on the economic development of endemic countries.
Complementary Schistosoma sequencing activities are also underway at The Institute of Genome Research.

Swimmer's itch, which is caused by Schistosoma mansoni, can also be caused by other species of Schistosomes from birds or other animals.
Species also differ in location within the venous system but in all species, disease is produced primarily by acute and chronic inflammatory responses to schistosome eggs.

 Schistosoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A genus of trematodes, Schistosoma spp., commonly known as blood-flukes and bilharzia, cause the most important human helminth infection (schistosomiasis) from a world health perspective, and are considered by the World Health Organization as second in importance only to malaria, with hundreds of millions infected worldwide.
Eggs are passed through urine or feces to fresh water, where larval stages can infect a new host by penetrating the skin.
It is also known as Manson's blood fluke or swamp fever.
