Article Synopsis
- Environmental changes have contributed to the emergence of human urogenital schistosomiasis on Corsica island since 2013, caused by a hybrid parasite of human and livestock origin.
- A study was conducted involving testing over 3,500 domesticated animals and trapping rodents to identify potential reservoirs for the disease, but most results suggested minimal involvement of these animals.
- The findings indicate that the outbreak is likely being sustained by local human infections rather than by livestock or wild rodents playing a significant role.
