日本血吸虫引起的血吸虫病的控制已受到严重阻碍的事实，几个非人类哺乳动物物种。包括家养动物和野生动物，都是这种感染的人畜共患病携带者。为了有效控制，必须了解这种感染的全部宿主特征。尽管已知约有46种哺乳动物携带S.日本血吸虫，只有少数可能对人类感染有潜在威胁。在血吸虫病流行区，血吸虫病的传播主要取决于宿主的存在和数量。在制定防治措施时，另一个需要考虑的重要因素是对S。日本血吸虫是潜在的菌株差异。本文对S.日本血吸虫在流行区哺乳动物中的流行病学研究，并评估这些发现对人类感染的流行病学意义。
Control of schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma japonicum has been severely hindered by the fact that several non-human mammalian species. including domesticated as well as wild animals, serve as zoonotic carriers of this infection. For effective control, it is imperative that the full host spect rum of this infection is understood. Although about 46 species of mammals are known to carry natural infection with S. japonicum, only a few might be of potential threat to human infection. Generally, in an endemic area,transmission of schistosomiasis to human depends largely on the availability and abundance of permissive hosts. Another important factor that needs to be taken into consideration in developing control measures against S. japonicum is potential strain differences. This review collates pertinent host-parasite relationship of S. japonicum in mammals in an endemic area and assesses the epidemiological significance of these findings for human infection.
