La contamination se produit par contact cutané avec de l'eau infestée par des larves de schistosomes. La maladie, qui affecte les appareils digestif et urinaire, est endémique dans la plupart des pays tropicaux. Elle touche plusieurs millions de personnes et cause un grand nombre de décès chaque année, malgré l'existence de traitements médicaux efficaces. 2, record 1, French, - schistosomiase
