Fine Art Print : Light micrograph of the blood fluke Schistosoma
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Light micrograph of the blood fluke Schistosoma
Light micrograph of adult intestinal blood flukes, Schistosoma mansoni, cause of schistosomasis, commonly known as bilharzia. The adults (male thick & bluish, female white threadlike) normally live in pairs in blood vessels of the small intestine, causing dysentery & diarrhoea. Their spiked eggs cause anaemia, inflammation & tissue scarring. The larvae develop in freshwater snails (intermediate host) & are released into the water. Humans (final host) are infected while bathing or working in contaminated water. The dark brown coloration, particularly noticable in the female, is half digested blood from a previous meal. Magnification: x5 at 35mm size. These specimens were taken from the liver of a

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a light micrograph of the blood fluke Schistosoma, shedding light on the fascinating world of parasitic organisms. The image reveals adult intestinal blood flukes, specifically Schistosoma mansoni, which are notorious for causing schistosomiasis, commonly known as bilharzia. The male flukes appear thick and bluish in color, while their female counterparts take on a delicate white threadlike form. Typically found living in pairs within the blood vessels of the small intestine, these parasites wreak havoc by inducing dysentery and diarrhea among their unfortunate hosts. Moreover, their spiked eggs contribute to anemia, inflammation, and tissue scarring. The life cycle of these intriguing creatures involves developing within freshwater snails before being released into water as larvae. Humans become infected when they come into contact with contaminated water during activities such as bathing or working. Notably visible in this image is the dark brown coloration present in the female fluke's body - evidence of half-digested blood from a previous meal. With a magnification factor of x5 at 35mm size, this photograph offers an up-close look at these remarkable specimens extracted from a liver sample. Captured by Science Photo Library's expert lensmen specializing in nature photography and zoology subjects like wild animals and invertebrates such as platyhelminthes (flatworms), this print provides valuable insight into the intricate world of parasitic organisms without any commercial intent behind it.
