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 nine carnivores , 16 rodents , one primate (human), two insectivores and three artiodactyls and therefore it can be considered a true zoonosis .
A paired couple of Schistosoma mansoni. 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 ...

The four species in this genus have recently (2012) been moved to the genus Schistosoma on the basis of morphology and molecular studies. [5] The genus name should now be regarded as a junior synonym of Schistosoma. The genera Bivitellobilharzia and Schistosoma form a clade in this family.
