Characterization of schistosome populations from human in eastern Niger, through intra-uterine egg morphology of female parasites and phenotopic analyses of worms observed for acid phosphatase using electrophoretic separation, renders results that suggest an intogression of S. haematobium from man by genes of S. bovis, a parasite of domestic livestock. The origin of this introgression, that could implicate S. curassoni as well, another livestock parasite that hybridize with S. bovis, is discussed.
