		Schistosoma haematobium is responsible for urinary symptoms and disease in Africa and the Middle East.
		japonicum which accounted for most transmission among the three major schistosome species and was the most difficult to control, due to its zoonotic nature, has now been effectively controlled in many areas.

		In its adult form, the S. japonicum is an intestinal worm that lives in the mesenteric veins outside of the liver of its definitive host.
		One mated pair of S. japonicum produces about 3000 eggs per day, some of which pass through the membranes of the bowels and are excreted in stool.
		An apparent adaptation to utilizing such a small intermediate host is that S. japonicum, unlike other schistosome species, can take advantage of almost all tissues of O. hupensis.

	Schistosome definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		There are three main species of these trematode worms (flukes) -- Schistosoma haematobium, Schistosoma japonicum, and Schistosoma mansoni -- that produce disease in humans.
		The cercaria (form of the parasite) is liberated from the snail burrow into skin, transforms to the schistosomulum stage, and migrates to the urinary tract (S. haematobium), liver or intestine (S. japonicum, S.mansoni) where the adult worms develop.
		Eggs are shed into the urinary tract or the intestine and hatch to form miracidia (yet another form of the parasite) which then infect snails, completing the life cycle of the parasite.
