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.
One model is breaking barriers in the fashion world. 29-year-old Caitin Stickels, from Seattle, was born with Schmid-Fraccaro, also known as "Cat Eye Syndrome".
