Illustration of a schistosome fluke (Schistosoma mansoni). As adults, these worms live in the veins around the human large intestine, attaching themselves to the wall by the suckers on their heads. The worms cause fever and abdominal pain, and the eggs produced by the female worm can form obstructions of tissues known as granulomas. | |
