Expert Committee on Bilharziasis, First Report

45 pp. Geneva: World Health Organization. Distributed by Columbia University Press, International Documents Service, 2960 Broadway, New York 27, New York. 2/3; $0.30, Sw.fr. 1.20

This report deals with the geographical distribution, diagnosis, epidemiology, survey methods, treatment and control of bilharziasis. The report is incomplete in respect to the distribution and epidemiology of S. japonicum infection; the Committee felt that more local studies are necessary before any definite pronouncement can be made on the role of domestic animals in its spread. While bilharziasis seems to be accepted by the Committee as the preferred name of the disease, the parasites are properly referred to as species of Schistosoma.
