Schistosomatidae
Sign in to saveAlso known as avian schistosome, bird schistosome
Schistosomatidae is a family of digenetic trematodes with complex parasitic life cycles. Immature developmental stages of schistosomes are found in molluscs and adults occur in vertebrates. The best studied group, the blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma, infect and cause disease in humans. Other genera which are infective to non-human vertebrates can cause mild rashes in humans.

Schistosomatidae é uma família de trematódeos digenéticos com ciclos de vida parasitários complexos . Estágios imaturos de desenvolvimento de esquistossomos são encontrados em moluscos e adultos ocorrem em vertebrados . O grupo mais bem estudado, os vermes sanguíneos do gênero Schistosoma, infectam e causam doenças em humanos. Outros gêneros que infectam vertebrados não humanos podem causar erupções cutâneas leves em humanos. Os esquistossomos são dióicos (indivíduos de sexos separados), o que é excepcional no que diz respeito ao filo, os platelmintos, em que a maioria das espécies são hermafroditas (os indivíduos possuem sistemas reprodutivos masculino e feminino).

Schistosomatidae is a family of digenetic trematodes with complex parasitic life cycles. Immature developmental stages of schistosomes are found in molluscs and adults occur in vertebrates. The best studied group, the blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma, infect and cause disease in humans. Other genera which are infective to non-human vertebrates can cause mild rashes in humans.
Schistosomatids are dioecious (individuals are of separate sexes) which is exceptional with regard to their phylum, Platyhelminthes, in which most species are hermaphroditic (individuals possess both male and female reproductive systems).
