    Summary

    Urinary schistosomiasis poses a potential risk in Spain due to suitable snail populations. Increased immigration and tourism may lead to new endemic areas, necessitating further study of this parasitic disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Parasitology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Urinary schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease with potential risks in Spain.
    • Specific regions in Spain harbor snail species that can act as intermediate hosts.

    Observation:

    • A non-autochthonous case of urinary schistosomiasis was identified in León.
    • Increased immigration and tourism are noted trends in Spain.

    Findings:

    • The presence of suitable snail vectors and potential for transmission exists in Spain.
    • Immigration and tourism may facilitate the introduction and spread of schistosomiasis.

    Implications:

    • There is a risk of establishing endemic areas for urinary schistosomiasis in Spain.
