Wild reservoirs of Schistosoma mansoni from Caratinga, an endemic schistosomiasis area of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. 1979

P M Coelho, and M Dias, and W Mayrink, and P Magalhães, and M N Mello, and C A Costa

Among 472 small mammals trapped in the Caratinga area of Minas Gerais, Brazil, Schistosoma mansoni infection was demonstrated in 6 of 9 Procyon, 1 of 7 Didelphis, 1 of 1 Philander, 25 of 72 Nectomys, and 16 of 383 various other rodents representing 20 species. The role of Nectomys and Procyon in maintaining endemicity needs further investigation.

D004197 Disease Reservoirs Animate or inanimate sources which normally harbor disease-causing organisms and thus serve as potential sources of disease outbreaks. Reservoirs are distinguished from vectors (DISEASE VECTORS) and carriers, which are agents of disease transmission rather than continuing sources of potential disease outbreaks. Humans may serve both as disease reservoirs and carriers.

D012550 Schistosoma mansoni A species of trematode blood flukes of the family Schistosomatidae. It is common in the Nile delta. The intermediate host is the planorbid snail. This parasite causes schistosomiasis mansoni and intestinal bilharziasis. Schistosoma mansonus,mansonus, Schistosoma
D012552 Schistosomiasis Infection with flukes (trematodes) of the genus SCHISTOSOMA. Three species produce the most frequent clinical diseases: SCHISTOSOMA HAEMATOBIUM (endemic in Africa and the Middle East), SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI (in Egypt, northern and southern Africa, some West Indies islands, northern 2/3 of South America), and SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM (in Japan, China, the Philippines, Celebes, Thailand, Laos). S. mansoni is often seen in Puerto Ricans living in the United States.
