Serologic surveys for schistosomiasis due to S. malayensis indicate of 3.9% prevalence in rural populations. [6] It was unsuccessful at adapting to human host. Infected rodents are often found near snail habitats. [6] Infections in humans are unlikely and are considered rare.

Schistosomiasis was first reported in the Mekong River's Lower Basin region in 1957, from Laotian island of Khong to Cambodian province of Kratié, specifically. [2] It was believed that the cause of these cases was Schistosoma japonicum until 1978, when Neotricula aperta was discovered and it was determined that the Schistosome was a unique species, Schistosoma mekongi.

In Malaysia, diethylcarbamazine dosages (6 mg/kg weekly for 6 weeks; 6 mg/kg daily for 9 days) reduced microfilariae by 80% for 18–24 months after treatment in the absence of mosquito control. [2] Microfilariae numbers slowly return many months after treatment, thus requiring multiple drug doses over time in order to achieve long-term control.
