schistosome

noun ˈʃɪstə(ʊ)ˌsəʊmˈSHistəˌsōm

〔动，医〕血吸虫，裂体吸虫。亦称BLOOD FLUKE
Genus Schistosoma, subclass Digenea, class Trematoda
Also called blood fluke
Example sentencesExamples
- By examining schistosomes that infect human hosts living near separate watercourses within a single village, it should be possible to determine the degree to which the parasite population is genetically subdivided.
- Figure 1 presents the results for the schistosomes, and differences between these and other parasitic flatworms are given below.
- Activities in remote areas increase the chance of exposure to insect vectors and fresh-water lakes and streams that may harbor schistosomes or leptospires.
- Its descendants then spread throughout the continent and acquired a schistosome that became S. mansoni as we know it today.
- These are called schistosomes and they cause a disease known as bilharzia (schistosomiasis).
