    Area of Science:

    • Tropical medicine
    • Parasitology
    • Public health

    Background:

    • Schistosomiasis is a major tropical and subtropical public health concern caused by Schistosoma parasites.
    • The parasite's life cycle involves humans as definitive hosts and freshwater snails as intermediate hosts.
    • Norway has reported 100 cases of schistosomiasis in the past decade.

    Observation:

    • This study reports two cases of schistosomiasis in Norway.
    • One patient was infected with Schistosoma japonicum, marking the first documented case in Norway.
    • The second patient had infections with both Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium.

    Findings:

    • The first reported case of Schistosoma japonicum infection in Norway.
    • Co-infection with Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium in a single patient.
