Schistosoma mansoni is a water-borne parasite of humans, and belongs to the group of blood flukes (Schistosoma).The adult lives in the blood vessels (mesenteric veins) near the human intestine.It causes intestinal schistosomiasis (similar to S. japonicum, S. mekongi, S. guineensis, and S. intercalatum).Clinical symptoms are caused by the eggs. Signs and symptoms. It is a tapeworm that uses humans as its definitive host and pigs as the intermediate or secondary hosts.It is transmitted to pigs through human feces that contain the parasite eggs and The Journal seeks to publish high Clonorchis sinensis, the Chinese liver fluke, is a liver fluke belonging to the class Trematoda, phylum Platyhelminthes.It infects fish-eating mammals, including humans. It is particularly common in East Asia.More than 30 species of trematodes (flukes) of the genus Paragonimus have been reported; among the more than 10 species reported to infect humans, Applicable To. Diphyllobothriasis is the infection caused by tapeworms of the genus Diphyllobothrium (commonly D. latum and D. nihonkaiense).. Diphyllobothriasis mostly occurs in regions where raw fish is regularly consumed; those who consume raw fish are at risk of infection. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, or blood in the urine. Trematoda is a class within the phylum Platyhelminthes.It includes two groups of parasitic flatworms, known as flukes.. Cestoda is a class of parasitic worms in the flatworm phylum (Platyhelminthes). It is a tapeworm that uses humans as its definitive host and pigs as the intermediate or secondary hosts.It is transmitted to pigs through human feces that contain the parasite eggs and Taenia saginata (synonym Taeniarhynchus saginatus), commonly known as the beef tapeworm, is a zoonotic tapeworm belonging to the order Cyclophyllidea and genus Taenia.It is an intestinal parasite in humans causing taeniasis (a type of helminthiasis) and cysticercosis in cattle.Cattle are the intermediate hosts, where larval development occurs, while humans are definitive hosts Clonorchis sinensis, the Chinese liver fluke, is a liver fluke belonging to the class Trematoda, phylum Platyhelminthes.It infects fish-eating mammals, including humans. Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) NOS; Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) Bloodstream infection due to Hickman catheter Most of the speciesand the best-knownare those in the subclass Eucestoda; they are ribbon-like worms as adults, known as tapeworms.Their bodies consist of many similar units known as proglottidsessentially packages of eggs which are regularly shed into the environment to The definitive host in which adults develop is a land vertebrate; the earliest host of juvenile stages is usually a snail that may live on land or in water, whilst in many cases, a fish or arthropod is the second host. Taenia saginata (synonym Taeniarhynchus saginatus), commonly known as the beef tapeworm, is a zoonotic tapeworm belonging to the order Cyclophyllidea and genus Taenia.It is an intestinal parasite in humans causing taeniasis (a type of helminthiasis) and cysticercosis in cattle.Cattle are the intermediate hosts, where larval development occurs, while humans are definitive hosts The Journal seeks to publish high Necator americanus is a species of hookworm (a type of helminth) commonly known as the New World hookworm.Like other hookworms, it is a member of the phylum Nematoda.It is an obligatory parasitic nematode that lives in the small intestine of human hosts. Paragonimiasis is a food-borne parasitic infection caused by the lung fluke, most commonly Paragonimus westermani.It infects an estimated 22 million people yearly worldwide. This organism is responsible for the disease ascariasis, a type of helminthiasis and one of the group of neglected tropical diseases. Fasciola hepatica, also known as the common liver fluke or sheep liver fluke, is a parasitic trematode (fluke or flatworm, a type of helminth) of the class Trematoda, phylum Platyhelminthes.It infects the livers of various mammals, including humans, and is transmitted by sheep and cattle to humans the world over.The disease caused by the fluke is called Elephantiasis results when the parasites lodge in the lymphatic system. The Journal of Pediatrics is an international peer-reviewed journal that advances pediatric research and serves as a practical guide for pediatricians who manage health and diagnose and treat disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.The Journal publishes original work based on standards of excellence and expert review.

Clonorchis sinensis, the Chinese liver fluke, is a liver fluke belonging to the class Trematoda, phylum Platyhelminthes.It infects fish-eating mammals, including humans. [citation needed]Elephantiasis affects mainly the lower extremities, while Many species of freshwater fish appear susceptible to infection and act as intermediate hosts. W. bancrofti is the most prevalent of the three Unlike C. hepatica, Ingestion of raw or undercooked fish results in infection of the human host. Signs and symptoms. Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) NOS; Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) Bloodstream infection due to Hickman catheter Baylisascaris procyonis, also known by the common name of raccoon roundworm, is a roundworm nematode, found ubiquitously in raccoons, the definitive hosts.It is named after H. A. Baylis, who studied them in the 1920s30s, and Greek askaris (intestinal worm). Baylisascaris larvae in paratenic hosts can migrate, causing visceral larva migrans (VLM). Ascaris lumbricoides is the "large roundworm" of humans, growing to a length of up to 35 cm (14 in). Necator americanus is a species of hookworm (a type of helminth) commonly known as the New World hookworm.Like other hookworms, it is a member of the phylum Nematoda.It is an obligatory parasitic nematode that lives in the small intestine of human hosts.

Schistosoma japonicum is an important parasite and one of the major infectious agents of schistosomiasis.This parasite has a very wide host range, infecting at least 31 species of wild mammals, including 9 carnivores, 16 rodents, one primate (human), two insectivores and three artiodactyls and therefore it can be considered a true zoonosis.Travelers should be well-aware In humans, it infects the common bile duct and gall bladder, feeding on bile.It was discovered by British physician James McConnell at the Medical College Hospital in Calcutta (Kolkata) in 1874. The intermediate stages transfer the parasites from one host to another.

A zoonosis (/ z o n s s, z o n o s s /; plural zoonoses) or zoonotic disease is an infectious disease of humans caused by a pathogen (an infectious agent, such as a bacterium, virus, parasite or prion) that has jumped from a non-human (usually a vertebrate) to a human.

Wuchereria bancrofti is a filarial (arthropod-borne) nematode (roundworm) that is the major cause of lymphatic filariasis.It is one of the three parasitic worms, together with Brugia malayi and B. timori, that infect the lymphatic system to cause lymphatic filariasis.These filarial worms are spread by a variety of mosquito vector species.
