Schistosomiasis | How does this neglected tropical disease spread?

[@KyleSullivan]

This is very well done and perfectly informative. I could not have found a better starting place to learn about this parasite. Thanks!

[@Karmer]

By far the best explanation for the disease I've seen to date. Beautifully made props too!!!!!!!!!

[@asmartate]

a beuatifully made illustration and I like the kid's voice so much ^_^

[@pharmacistv]

Here about to go into 2022, I'm so sorry it hasn't been eliminated yet, thank you scientists for all your efforts. I would like to suggest that we focus on the disease and its spread through the world - in addition to Africa, you can get it in parts of Asia, China, South America and the Middle East.

This is kinda depressing because they thought it will end in 2020 but its still kicking in 2022 so we should pay more attention on that

[@aimeurilhem3930]

thats so informative and perfectly done thnx for making it easy

[@Cloudnab]

its 2022 and it’s still around

[@IsaacAwad.04]

Oh actually? Damn

[@Cloudnab]

@@IsaacAwad.04 it’s quite dangerous, and i don’t see it disappearing forever as the video said, but i believe we can now control its life cycle more efficiently ! to get rid of it forever, meaning snails must be extinct

i'm glad that now in 2021 the parasite is eliminated in egypt!

[@amilom007]

does it spread to birds and other animals or only humans?

[@NaturalHistoryMuseum]

Hello - this is a great question. All of the species in the genus Schistosoma infect mammals, some usually infect just humans, but others infect other mammals eg the Schistosoma bovis infects cattle. However, if you look at the family level (Schistosomatidae), the range of animal hosts increases with some species infecting birds. I hope that helps 🦖

2020?? I'm graduating from medical school in 2023. Why the flying toss am I learning this though?

[@angelalilley2998]

Because it is one of the top neglected tropical diseases on the planet. More people are affected by this than Malaria. It is being found in many parts of the world previously thought to be unaffected. It causes immense suffering pain and ongoing serious health problems many of which eventually kill.the person even sometimes when it's been treated years previously. It is Directly linked with many cancers etc and the damage done during the often years of infection ( due to unavailability of praziqualtil or often due to medical negligence A failure to diagnose correctly or at all and the medical communities serious lack of knowledge on pretty much everything to do with all emerging parasitic diseases. I can imagine your medical school is devoting very little time to this subject at all. You thinking this is not relevant highlights and demonstrates exactly the problem with medical training especially in the west. There is no money to be made in treating these emerging illnesses therefore pharmaceutical companies who largely fund your training do not give it a high priority. The drugs used to treat parasitic illnesses are also now being used to treat cancer. That's a big money maker for big pharma. It's in their best interests to keep a lid on the reality of just how prevelent these infections are. Please don't perpetuate the medical negligence and ignorance. I seriously can't believe a medical student is asking the question you are asking. Seriously please start to think more laterally and logically.

[@razmataz13drums]

@@angelalilley2998 exactly, and its a neglected tropical disease because it affects those in poorer communities. Like you said, to claim this isnt worth your time is sadly typical of a Western attitude, and why these diseases persist

[@葛炳仑]

​@@angelalilley2998 The only solution is to completely extinct freshwater snails called "Oncomelania", because Schistosoma's only intermediate host is this snail, while its final host is probably most kinds of mammals include oxen, cats, dogs etc. Japan has totally extincted this kind of snail. In China, if government find some water area live this kind of snail, the water area will be blocked until all snails were killed. This is because that simply contacting with such waters can lead to infection.

CDC lies, this is in most every pond, river, and stream in the US. I have it. Called "swimmer's itch" here.

[@worldaround6520]

The mnemonic I created is that if you look at the egg of this organism, it has a penis-like projection, so we know this is a man-Schistosoma MANsoni.
