What is Schystosoma japonicum?



Schystosoma japonicum or also called blood worm is a member of Trematodes (Platyhelminthes). Blood worms are called because they live in veins or veins in humans, cats, pigs, cows, sheep, dogs and rodents. Many are found in Sulawesi

The size of a male worm is greater than that of a female worm. The body of the male worm appears to cover the body of a more slender female worm.
 

If this worm infects humans, it will cause Schistosomosis which is one of the biggest public health problems in Asia and Africa. Someone who suffers from this disease will experience liver damage, heart, spleen, kidney and bladder disorders
