Schistosoma mekongi sp. n. from man and animals, compared with four geographic strains of Schistosoma japonicum

M Voge et al. J Parasitol. 1978 Aug.

Abstract

Schistosoma mekongi sp. n. is described from man and animals in Cambodia. It is compared to 4 geographic strains of Schistosoma japonicum. It differs from S. japonicum in the size of embryonated eggs, in the length of the prepatent peroid in the mammalian host, and in its utilization of a different snail host. The relative usefulness of conventional morphologic criteria in the differentiation of Asian schistosomes is discussed.
