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 ).
Adult Schistosoma haematobium has male and female, which are permanently paired (a condition called in copula) as what looks like an individual. The male forms the flatworm part, measuring 10–18 mm in length and 1 mm in width. It bears oral and ventral suckers towards its anterior end.
Schistosoma is a genus of trematodes, commonly known as blood flukes.They are parasitic flatworms responsible for a highly significant group of infections in humans termed schistosomiasis, which is considered by the World Health Organization to be the second-most socioeconomically devastating parasitic disease (after malaria), with hundreds of millions infected worldwide.
The adult male and female are paired together, exit the liver via the portal venous system, travel to the venous systems of the intestines or bladder (species dependent), and produce eggs S. japonicum - superior mesenteric veins (but can also inhabit inferior mesenteric veins)
The process in which the adult male worm holds the adult female worm is called in copula and is when they are paired. [11] When first identifying S. hippopotami as a species, Thurston made some simple identifications about the female and male morphologies of S. hippopotami. The female is typically shorter than the male; she has an ovary that is ...

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 .
From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
