Description: Of recent years there has been much controversy about the importance of bilharzia as a debilitating, killing disease. On the one hand, there are the schools centred in Egypt and South America, who consider that the condition is all important; on the other hand, there are large tracts of country infected with the Schistosomes, mansoni and haematobium, in which the manifestations of bilharzial disease are but slight by comparison with the distribution of the parasites. The third well-known form of bilharzia, due to Schistosoma japonicum, is in a slightly different position for here there cannot be much doubt as to the disease-producing potential of some strains of this particular parasite.
