Seven cases of urogenital schistosomiasis occurred in Corsica in 2015 and 2016. The episodes were related to exposure to the same river and involved the same parasite strain as an outbreak with 106 cases in summer 2013. The connection calls for further investigations on the presence of an animal reservoir and the survival of infested snails during winter. However, recontamination of the river from previously infected bathers remains the most likely hypothesis.
2015 年和 2016 年科西嘉岛发生了 7 例泌尿生殖系统血吸虫病。这些病例与接触同一条河流有关,涉及与 2013 年夏季 106 例暴发相同的寄生虫株。这一关联需要进一步调查是否存在动物宿主以及受感染的蜗牛在冬季是否存活。然而,来自先前受感染的游泳者再次污染河流仍然是最有可能的假设。
