Responsable en Guadeloupe d’une très forte morbidité, la bilharziose est très inégalement répartie dans le milieu naturel. L’hôte intermédiaire, Biomphalaria glabrata, est très ubiquiste. Mais seuls certains biotopes, presque tous situés dans la frange côtière de l’île montagneuse, permettent l’évolution du parasite. Parmi eux, les canaux d’irrigation constituent la plus grave source de contamination pour la population humaine.
Abstract
Occasioning in Guadeloupe a high rate of morbidity, schistosomiasis is unequally spread in the field. The intermediate host, Biomphalaria glabrata, is wide-spread. But some biotopes only, most of them located on the coast belt of the montainous island, allow the parasite growth. Among them, the irrigation canals appear as the most dangerous source of contamination for human population.
