Urinary Blood Fluke
| Common Name of Organism | Latin Name | Body Parts Affected | Diagnosis Type | Where Found | Source of Parasite |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Urinary Blood Fluke | Schistosoma haematobium | Kidney, bladder, ureters, lungs, skin | Urine, complement fixation tests, ELISA, Indirect immunofluorescence, microscopic examination | Africa, Middle East | Skin exposure to water contaminated with infected Bulinus sp. snails |
Dormancy Period: 4 years or more.
Sexual maturation is attained after 4–6 weeks of initial infection. A female generally lays 500–1,000 eggs in a day. The fluke continuously lays eggs throughout their life. An average lifespan is 3–4 years. Adults are found in the venous plexuses around the urinary bladder and the released eggs travels to the wall of the urine bladder causing haematuria and fibrosis of the bladder. The bladder becomes calcified, and there is increased pressure on ureters and kidneys otherwise known as hydronephrosis. Inflammation of the genitals due to S. haematobium may contribute to the propagation of HIV.
Along with other helminth parasites Clonorchis sinensis and Opisthorchis viverrini, S. haematobium was declared as Group 1 (extensively proven) carcinogens by the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Working Group on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans in 2009.
