This is very well done and perfectly informative. I could not have found a better starting place to learn about this parasite. Thanks!
a beuatifully made illustration and I like the kid's voice so much ^_^
Here about to go into 2022, I'm so sorry it hasn't been eliminated yet, thank you scientists for all your efforts.
I would like to suggest that we focus on the disease and its spread through the world - in addition to Africa, you can get it in parts of Asia, China, South America and the Middle East.
This is kinda depressing because they thought it will end in 2020 but its still kicking in 2022 so we should pay more attention on that
By far the best explanation for the disease I've seen to date. Beautifully made props too!!!!!!!!!
Beautifully made! :)
thats so informative and perfectly done thnx for making it easy
Very helpful! Thank you.
such a good sharing thank you :)
Thankyou very easy that helped a lot
Amazing explanation 👍✅
Very well explained and informative. The videography is amazing
It’s productive awesome simple thank you to share😍
wow this is a very informative video, medicine made easy!
its 2022 and it’s still around
Oh actually? Damn
@@IsaacAwad.04 it’s quite dangerous, and i don’t see it disappearing forever as the video said, but i believe we can now control its life cycle more efficiently !
to get rid of it forever, meaning snails must be extinct
شكرا جزيلا
The voice 😩💖
great video
So is it gone?
Thanks
this is the simplest best explanation ever... thank you.
the kids voice is soooo cute very well done😍😍😍😍 very good explanation it deserves a like and a subscribe😄😄
i'm glad that now in 2021 the parasite is eliminated in egypt!
Thank you so much 🥹❤❤❤
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching
*kids avoid rivers and plays on land instead
STH: oh hi there, how are ya
College Human Parasitology Class sent me here
same
Cuál es la melodía por favor :3
❤❤❤❤
does it spread to birds and other animals or only humans?
Hello - this is a great question. All of the species in the genus Schistosoma infect mammals, some usually infect just humans, but others infect other mammals eg the Schistosoma bovis infects cattle. However, if you look at the family level (Schistosomatidae), the range of animal hosts increases with some species infecting birds. I hope that helps 🦖
👍👍👍👍
i'm watching it in 2020 i don't think you got red of it
Stop throwing your plastic to the ocean, I'm dying.
2020?? I'm graduating from medical school in 2023. Why the flying toss am I learning this though?
Because it is one of the top neglected tropical diseases on the planet. More people are affected by this than Malaria. It is being found in many parts of the world previously thought to be unaffected. It causes immense suffering pain and ongoing serious health problems many of which eventually kill.the person even sometimes when it's been treated years previously. It is Directly linked with many cancers etc and the damage done during the often years of infection ( due to unavailability of praziqualtil or often due to medical negligence A failure to diagnose correctly or at all and the medical communities serious lack of knowledge on pretty much everything to do with all emerging parasitic diseases. I can imagine your medical school is devoting very little time to this subject at all. You thinking this is not relevant highlights and demonstrates exactly the problem with medical training especially in the west. There is no money to be made in treating these emerging illnesses therefore pharmaceutical companies who largely fund your training do not give it a high priority. The drugs used to treat parasitic illnesses are also now being used to treat cancer. That's a big money maker for big pharma. It's in their best interests to keep a lid on the reality of just how prevelent these infections are. Please don't perpetuate the medical negligence and ignorance. I seriously can't believe a medical student is asking the question you are asking. Seriously please start to think more laterally and logically.
@@tuhazzip8716 You to grow up, kid.
@@angelalilley2998 exactly, and its a neglected tropical disease because it affects those in poorer communities. Like you said, to claim this isnt worth your time is sadly typical of a Western attitude, and why these diseases persist
@@angelalilley2998 The only solution is to completely extinct freshwater snails called "Oncomelania", because Schistosoma's only intermediate host is this snail, while its final host is probably most kinds of mammals include oxen, cats, dogs etc. Japan has totally extincted this kind of snail. In China, if government find some water area live this kind of snail, the water area will be blocked until all snails were killed. This is because that simply contacting with such waters can lead to infection.
In an African lake 👀
CDC lies, this is in most every pond, river, and stream in the US. I have it. Called "swimmer's itch" here.
I wish I do not have such parasites.
cute voice and presentation....but... aren't worms from the class trematoda hermafrodites? who u try to fool 🤣🤣🤣
