Disease Manifestation and Pathology, is a true zoonotic infection and also affects a large number of animal species, including domestic animals, while malaria is confined to primates only. Obviously, most of the studies have been done on schistosomiasis in man, while animals are considered only as disease transmitters.

Though this approach is able to identify disease status of the patient and is followed in the hospitals, it fails to inform about origin of the infection.

In both hosts, the schistosomes cause much harm, shortening their life, but whereas snail damage is commemorated, all efforts are being made to minimize damage to the final host.
