Schistosoma haematobium causes genitourinary schistosomiasis, a serious disease that affects reproductive health, urinary system health and potentially bladder cancer. This species is the most pathogenic species of all schistosomes, but comparatively less is know about it than other species because of a lack of a suitable model. We need a suitable model host for this important parasite. This project will test whether newborn pigs can be used as laboratory models.

血吸虫会引起泌尿生殖系统血吸虫病，这是一种严重的疾病，会影响生殖健康、泌尿系统健康，并可能导致膀胱癌。该物种是所有血吸虫中致病性最强的物种，但由于缺乏合适的模型，对它的了解比其他物种相对较少。我们需要一个合适的模型宿主来对付这种重要的寄生虫。该项目将测试新生的猪是否可以用作实验室模型。
