They are ovoid and have a thin, clear shell and a spine or hook-like structure that may be inconspicuous (Photo courtesy of Florida Gulf Coast University).

Droplet Digital PCR Detects Schistosomiasis DNA in Samples

Schistosoma japonicum is the only human blood fluke that occurs in China and Philippines and also in Sri Lanka. It is the cause of schistosomiasis japonica, a disease that still remains a significant health problem especially in lake and marshland regions. More...
