Diagnosis and Clinical Management of<i>Schistosoma haematobium</i>–<i>Schistosoma bovis</i>Hybrid Infection in a Cluster of Travelers Returning From Mali

Abstract

Ten Belgian travelers returned from Mali with a Schistosoma haematobium-Schistosoma bovis hybrid infection, confirmed by DNA sequencing from eggs. Clinical symptoms and laboratory findings resembled those of classic acute schistosomiasis, but the detected eggs were morphologically unusual.
