By: Celina Z. Ibañez Schistosomiasis is a disease caused by parasitic trematode worms of genus schistosoma. There are �ive species of schisto-somes cause human schistosomiasis: S. haematobium, S. mansoni, S. japoni-cum, S. mekongi, and S. intercalatum. Schistosoma japonicum (Oriental Blood Fluke) is a trematode present in the Philippines. The disease was �irst discovered by Paul G. Wooley here in the Phil-ippines on 1906 from the inmates in New Bilibid Prison coming from Visayas and Mindanao. The �irst reported case in Region VI was in So. Bonbon,Brgy. Marcelo Calarava, Negros Occidental last 2005. The case was con�irmed endemic by Mr. Florante M. Rante, a malacologist from South Cotabato last 2006. Last October 2011, sanitary inspectors from different cities and municipali-ties together with some personnel in the Regional Of�ice and Provincial Of-�ice had conducted snail surveillance in this area, Result was still positive for schistosomiasis. This strongly sug-gests the prevalence of this disease there is until this time. The Intermediate host for schis-tosoma japonicum is Oncomelania hupensis Quadrasi snail. The mode of transmission is via skin penetration. The infective stage to the cercaria, the 2nd larval stage. The average life span of an adult worm inside the human body is 5 years but can be up to 20 years. Throughout this period a single female worm re-lease approximately 500-350,000 eggs per day into the bloodstream. 50% of the eggs become trapped in the body and are responsible for the damage done to the liver, intestines, the blad-der and other organs. A person maybe infected by wad-ing, swimming, bathing, �ishing and laundering in river, streams or creeks, washing/wading in rice �ields and irri-gationcanals, and farming in schistosome in-fested areas. If this disease is treated early, the prognosis is very good and complete recovery is expected. It is treatable but people can die from the effects of un-treated schistosomiasis. The early signs and symptoms of the disease is similar to �lu (fever, chills, cough and muscle pain may occur).Itchy skin or rashes (pruritic papules) may develop within few days after infection. On the later stage a person will manifest severe anemia, hepatomegally, severe liver disease, spleenic enlargement, weighty loss, jaundice and ascites. The method of detections is by stool examination, rectal biopsy, se-rologic test, COFT, Immunodiagnostic test, ELISA, EEC, CT scan and MRI. The parasitic Infestations could be prevented through the following:1. Health Education2 Case �inding and treatment3. Environment Sanitation – use of toi-let & avoid indiscriminate defecation4. Control of stray animals.5. Provision of Safe Water Supply6. Use of Foot Bridges7. Snail Control8. Agro Engineering Methods

sand two hundred (1,200) books were sent to eight public schools. Cadiz West 2 Elementary School, Cadiz East Elementary School, Bal-andra Elementary School and Sewa-hon Integrated School were the �irst four schools to receive 150 books last December 13.2011 endorsed by the City Schools Division Super-intendent Dr. Xz Dignadice.
