Schistosomiasis is a disease of the poor who live in conditions that favor transmission. Schistosomiasis is also an insidious disease, poorly recognized at early ages and disabling to men and women during their most productive years. Rarely fatal, but strongly linked to diarrhea, pain, fatigue, hemoglobin deficit, under nutrition, and reduced exercise tolerance; schistosomiasis’ effects are not negligible for those who are infected and live in endemic areas where recurring infections are possible.
