	ReliefWeb » Document Preview » East Africa: Bilharzia health hazard highlighted
		Scientifically known as schistosomiasis, after the schistosome parasites which cause the disease, bilharzia is contracted when blood flukes enter the body by way of contact with infested surface water, mainly among people engaged in agriculture and fishing.
		Bilharzia is of concern throughout East Africa, especially among people living around bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, irrigation schemes and swamps, where the snails which spread the bilharzia-causing parasites [schistosomes] thrive, according to Joyce Onsongo of Kenya's communicable and vector disease control department.
		The economic and health effects of bilharzia should not be underestimated, it says, citing retardation of the school performance and growth patterns of infected children, although the effects are (on average) 90 percent reversible with treatment.

		Bilharzia is one of the most serious diseases in Kenya estimated to have infected over two million people and more than 200 million worldwide.
		Parasites of the urinary bilharzia engross themselves in the veins around the bladder and the intestinal ones in the intestines, causing scarring and destruction of tissue which leads to various pathological conditions.
		Thereafter, a comprehensive health education programme was launched to educate the villagers on how bilharzia is transmitted and how clean water in the villages could greatly assist in the eradication of the disease.

		Bilharzia, also called schistosomiasis, occurs in tropical and sub-tropical areas around the world.
		Development of disease in humans depends on the worm burden, that is, how many infecting worms are present which in turn determines the number of eggs produced.
		It is the inflammatory response to these eggs which is responsible for most of the problems associated with bilharzia.
