一、总体分布：在尼日利亚三个地区中的两个地区，人感染血血吸虫和曼氏血吸虫的情况很普遍，而在第三个地区则不那么普遍，其存在的记录可以追溯到上个世纪。早在1881年，一位德国旅行家Gustav Nachtigal就评论了博尔努省血尿的高发病率。布莱尔（1956）指出，这种疾病自古以来就存在于北部地区，他引用了当地的一个传说，大意是入侵的富拉尼人从尼罗河上游河谷带来了这种疾病。他还描述了S. haematobium在北方的分布几乎是普遍的，而在其他地方则是零星的，尽管在当地可能是严重的或高地方性的；他认为这种感染的临床强度通常相当轻微。
I. GENERAL DISTRIBUTION The infection of man with both Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni is widespread in two of the three regions of Nigeria and less so in the third, and records of its existence go back well into the last century. As long ago as 1881 a German traveller, Gustav Nachtigal, commented on the high incidence of haematuria in Bornu Province. Blair (1956) states that its existence in the Northern Region has been known since antiquity, and he quotes a local legend to the effect that the invading Fulani brought the disease with them from the upper Nile valley. He also describes the distribution of S. haematobium as being almost universal in the north and patchy elsewhere, though locally it may be heavy or hyperendemic; the clinical intensity of the infection he considers to be generally rather mild.
