A family cluster of schistosomiasis acquired in Solenzara River, Corsica (France) — Solenzara River is clearly a transmission site for schistosomiasis in Corsica

Abstract

We report a patient with urogenital schistosomiasis and three cases of subclinical infection within one family acquired from Solenzara River, Corsica, in 2019. Our cases confirm that transmission of schistosomiasis in Corsica is ongoing and has been extended from the Cavu River to the Solenzara River. Solenzara River is clearly a transmission site for schistosomiasis in Corsica. Public health efforts are recommended to uncover and prevent further cases.
