Abstract

Côte d’Ivoire France ITS Ivory Coast Schistosoma haematobium Schistosoma mansoni cox1 ectopic egg elimination hematuria hybrid parasite hybrids internal transcribed spacer migrants parasites phylogenetic analysis urinary schistosomiasis
Schistosomiasis is frequently detected in persons entering Europe. In 2017, we detected a Schistosoma mansoni-Schistosoma haematobium hybrid parasite infection in a migrant boy from Côte d'Ivoire entering France. Because such parasites might be established in Europe, as illustrated by an outbreak on Corsica Island, vectors of these parasites should be investigated.
