asexual reproduction stage
Infectious stage: cercariae
Male and female embrace
Necessary conditions for schistosomiasis to mature
Male sex pheromones can be transmitted to females through the body wall
If there are no male worms, the female worms cannot mature sexually; if there are no female worms, although the male worms can mature, it will take a long time and the individuals will be small.
Adult parasites lay eggs
Absorption of nutrients through body wall and intestines
Red blood cells are degraded into hemoglobin, where globin is further degraded into peptides and free amino acids
Schistosoma also has heme oxygenase and biliverdin reductase that can further degrade heme.
Only 7.7% of eggs are expelled
It takes about 24 days from the time the cercariae burrow into the skin until the worm matures and lays eggs. It takes about 11 days to mature
Pathogenic
Cercariae

eggs
Eggs are the main pathogenic stage of schistosomiasis. Location: Intrahepatic portal vein branches (presinusoidal veins), colon wall veins Pulse, especially in the rectum, sigmoid colon and descending colon. Pathological changes: eggs are deposited in local veins, causing egg granulomas and trunk-type fibrotic lesions.
clinical manifestations

The inner layer is the germinal layer (germ layer), which has many nuclei There is cyst fluid in the cyst, also called hydatid fluid, which is highly resistant to the human body
Many protoscolecular larvae, also known as protoscoleces, grow in the germinal layer. Lime bodies can be seen inside the protoscolecular larvae.
The germinal cyst, also known as the brood cyst, is a small sac with only one germinal layer. It develops from the nucleated cells of the germinal layer. Protocephalic larvae grow on the inner wall.
Protoscolices grow into the germinal vesicle and grow outward to become exophytic protoscolices
The protocephalic larvae, germinal cysts, and small ascus that fall off from the wall are suspended in the cyst fluid and are called cyst sand or echinococcal sand.
