An epidemiological study of Schistosoma japonicum in domestic animals in two municipalities of the Eastern coastal plain of Leyte, Philippines, showed that pigs and dogs have the highest rates of prevalence. Dogs had the highest mean 24-hour egg output, and pigs the proportion of hatchable eggs. However, dogs serve an important role in maintaining the transmission of the parasite as indicated by a high transmission potential and the close habitual contact of the animals to human. Although necropsy of 49 dogs and 35 pigs which were coprologically and serologically negative revealed 10 dogs and 6 pigs with adult schistosomes in the mesenteric and portal veins, statistical analysis showed a positive correlation (p less than 0.05) between merthiolate iodine formalin concentration technique and circumoval precipitin test indicating the usefulness of the two tests in field diagnosis of schistosomiasis in domestic animals.
菲律宾莱特岛东部沿海平原两个城市家畜日本血吸虫病的流行病学研究表明，猪和狗的患病率最高。狗的平均24小时产卵量最高，而猪的可孵化卵比例最高。然而，正如高传播潜力以及动物与人类的密切日常接触所表明的那样，狗在维持寄生虫传播方面发挥着重要作用。尽管对49只狗和35头猪进行粪便学和血清学检测均为阴性，但尸检发现10只狗和6头猪的肠系膜静脉和门静脉中有成虫血吸虫，统计分析表明硫柳汞碘福尔马林浓缩技术与环卵沉淀试验之间存在正相关（p小于0.05），这表明这两种检测在家畜血吸虫病现场诊断中有用。
