Schistosoma japonicum
''Schistosoma japonicum'' is an important parasite and one of the major infectious agents of schistosomiasis.This parasite has a very wide host range, infecting at least 31 species of wild mammals, including 9 carnivores, 16 rodents, one primate (Human), two insectivores and three artiodactyls and therefore it can be considered a true zoonosis.
== Disease ==
''Schistosoma japonicum'' is the only human blood fluke that occurs in China. It is the cause of schistosomiasis japonica, a disease that still remains a significant health problem especially in lake and marshland regions. Schistosomiasis is an infection caused mainly by three schistosome species; ''Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma japonicum'' and ''Schistosoma haematobium. S. japonicum'' being the most infectious of the three species.〔 Infection by schistosomes is followed by an acute Katayama fever. Historical accounts of Katayama disease dates back to the discovery of ''S. Japonicum'' in Japan in 1904. The disease was named after an area it was endemic to, Katayama district, Hiroshima, Japan.〔 If left untreated, it will develop into a chronic condition characterized by hepatosplenic disease and impaired physical and cognitive development. The severity of ''S. japonicum'' arises in 60% of all neurological diseases in schistosomes due to the migration of schistosome eggs to the brain.〔
