摘要: Control of schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma japonicum has been severely hindered the fact that several non-human mammalian species, including domesticated as well wild animals, serve zoonotic carriers this infection. For effective control, it is imperative full host spectrum infection understood. Although about 46 species mammals are known to carry natural with S. japonicum, only a few might be potential threat human Generally, in an endemic area, transmission depends largely on availability and abundance permissive hosts. Another important factor needs taken into consideration developing control measures against strain differences. This review collates pertinent host-parasite relationship area assesses epidemiological significance these findings for
