A tinkerer by nature, Georgi invented the device that revolutionized the flea-breeding business when the grant he had to work on another costly parasite, the schistosome, was not renewed.

The cDNAs encoding rat, human, murine, bovine, dog and two " Schistosome " cathepsin Cs have been cloned and sequenced and show that the enzyme is highly conserved.
33.
The fluke, which is found primarily in tropical areas, infects mammals ( including humans ) via contact with water that contains schistosome larvae ( cercariae ) which have previously been released from the snail.
34.
In a study performed in Senegal, infections of soil-transmitted helminths like " T . trichiura " ( as well as schistosome infections independently ) showed enhanced risk and increased the incidence of malaria.
35.
They are often referred to as "'intestinal worms "'even though not all helminths reside in the intestines; for example schistosomes are not intestinal worms, but rather reside in blood vessels.

In July 1944, physician researcher Claude Barlow ingested over 200 schistosome worms to carry back to the United States from Egypt to study whether domestic snails could become infected and introduce the disease into the United States.
37.
It is responsible for 32 million cases of dysuria, 10 million cases of hydronephrosis, and 150, 000 deaths from renal failure annually, making " S . haematobium " the world s deadliest schistosome.
38.
Male schistosomes undergo normal maturation and morphological development in the presence or absence of a female, although behavioural, physiological and antigenic differences between males from single-sex, as opposed to bisex, infections have been reported.
39.
His father, so much older than he remembered when he ambled off to elementary school on a December morning in 1985, was recovering well after surgery to remove Guinea worms, schistosomes and other parasites contracted from infected water.

Nevertheless, there are all chances of killing susceptible blood flukes by these less effective drugs resulting in existence of more resistant schistosome population in future generations causing more problems ( Agrawal 2012 ) . schistosoma nasale eggs are boomerang or palaquine shaped.
