OUTBREAK OF UROGENITAL SCHISTOSOMIASIS IN CORSICA

https://doi.org/10.22627/2072-8107-2018-17-2-45-51

Abstract

The article contains a review of the literature on the history of studying human schistosomiasis and a description of the outbreak of urogenital schistosomiasis on the island of Corsica, France, which continues from 2011—2013 until now. It is shown that schistosomiasis in Corsicais caused, for the most part, by a hybrid of S. haematobium — S. bovis, and also by S. haematobium proper, having West African (Senegalese) origin. The most typical clinical examples are given.
