Schistosoma haematobium are predominantly human parasites whilst Schistosoma japon-icum is zoonotic in a wide range of domestic animals as well as humans, and species such as Schistosoma bovis, Schistosoma spindale and Schistosoma mattheei infect domestic livestock. The mammalian host becomes infected when...
