VILLAVERDE ANE, BIARDA et al. Infección por Schistosoma intercalatum y probable hibridización con Schistosoma haematobium en el este de África.: Reporte de un caso. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1997, vol.49, n.3, pp. 215-217. ISSN 1561-3054.

It is reported the infection due to Schistosoma intercalatum and the probable hybridization with Schistosoma haematobium in a patient from the eastern region of Africa, where it has not been demonstrated before. The main clinical manifestations were abdominal pain and diarrea with blood. The diagnosis was possible thanks to the finding in the microscopic examination of the characteristic eggs of Schistosoma intercalatum in faeces and urine by the modified technique of Ziehl-Neelsen.
