Abstract

Human schistosomiasis, which is caused by schistosomes, is a zoonosis that is difficult to control because of the many reservoir hosts. However, is the only mammal that is naturally resistant to infection known in China, in which growth and development were arrested on day 12, and the worms eliminated on day 20 post-infection. In this review, we present an overview of the established and purported mechanisms of resistance to infection in in comparison to , a semi-permissive host. Clarifying the mechanism of this efficient resistance can help us to better understand host-parasite interaction and to provide better methods to control schistosomiasis.
