Non-specific esterase isoenzymes of adult schistosomes from the hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius)
1981
Fripp, P.J.
isoenzyme patterns of extracts of adult schistosomes collected from Hippopotamus amphibius in Kruger National Park compared with similar extracts of adult Schistosoma mansoni and S. rodhaini, characteristics differed suggesting that H. amphibius schistosome is separate species

Freshwater snails are known to serve as first intermediate hosts for various parasitic diseases such as schistosomosis and fasciolosis. Snails were collected on several occasions in the proximity of Pretoria, South Africa and their cercarial sheddings were studied. This article describes three different types of cercariae shed by the freshwater snail, Lymnaea natalensis, viz. a fork-tailed cercaria of a Trichobilharzia sp., an avian parasite belonging to the family Schistosomatidae, an echinostomatid cercaria of the family Echinostomatidae, also avian parasites and a xiphidiocercaria of the family Plagiorchiidae which parasitise avians and amphibians. The morphology of these cercariae was studied by light and scanning electron microscopy.

Schistosoma edwardiense recovered from hippopotamus, measurements of adults and eggs, species validity, determined to be hippopotamus-specific based on examination of game droppings for schistosome eggs and on lack of experimental establishment in rodents, Biomphalaria salinarum believed to be intermediate host based on evidence from experimental exposure; S. hippopotami suggested to be synonymous with S. mansoni
