Travel-related Schistosomiasis Acquired in Laos

Schistosoma Mansoni is one of the microbial species that causes similar symptoms found with S. mekongi, one of 3 species in Asia that are known to cause infection in humans. The other two are known as S. japonicum and S. Malayensis. Human infection is known as Acute Schistosomiasis, caused by helminth parasites of the genus Schistosoma and is characterized by, most commonly fever and cough, but also by myalgia, gastrointestinal complaints, fatigue and urticaria. The region of Asia where these infections have been reported was Laos, after 7 travelers from Israel had been diagnosed from serology. It has been reported that over 200 million humans are infected, but about 85% of those infected are in Africa. What is interesting to note is that anyone can be at risk who travels to endemic areas such as Laos or Africa and are exposed to fresh water. Freshwater snails are generally the host.
