Schistosomiasis, also known as bilharziasis or snail fever
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by flatworms called schistosomes. It is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Prevention strategies include controlling the freshwater snails that act as intermediate hosts for the parasite, providing access to safe water sources, and promoting hygiene practices. Treatment involves medication to kill the worms.
Another term for heterozygous is "heterozygote." This term refers to an organism that has two different alleles for a specific gene, one inherited from each parent. In contrast, an organism with identical alleles for that gene is called homozygous.
Another popular one is "dog dish". Less common is "dog trough".
ant eater! also, for another term look in the childrens book of morals called squids will be squids!
Natural selection- which is the mechanism driving evolution

Yes, schistosomiasis certainly can kill. Although, it is also easily preventable as well as curable. Go to... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schistosomiasis#History ...for more information.
Schistosomiasis, or bilharzia, is usually not spread directly from one person to another. It usually spreads by exposure to water in which the snails that serve as the host for the parasite are found. An infected person passes the parasites on to the snails, where the parasite continues its life cycle, and is released into the water to infect another person.

The use of medications against schistosomiasis, such as praziquantel (Biltricide), oxamniquine, and metrifonate, have been shown to be safe and effective.
Gaucher disease
Information on schistosomiasis can be found in medical text books on tropical medicine. Alternatively it can be researched online at sites such as WebMD or NHS Choices. Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection which is also known as bilharzia.

Schistosomiasis is caused by blood flukes which live in the arteries. The male and felmale worms are closely attached to each other and produce eggs which burrow through tissues until they reach the bladder and are eliminated via urination.it is prevalent along the Nile River.
Urinary tract schistosomiasis is characterized by blood in the urine, pain or difficulty urinating, and frequent urination.The loss of blood can lead to iron deficiency anemia. A large percentage of persons.experience urinary tract damage.
