  • A species of flatworms in the family Schistosomatidae. S intercalatum is characterized by eggs that have a terminal spine and are intermediate in size between the smaller S. haematobium and larger S. bovis. These eggs are unique because they will stain red when exposed to the Ziehl-Neelsen staining technique. S. intercalatum has two major strains, each with its own preferred snail host: the Zaire strain uses Bulinus africanus as its intermediate host, while the Lower Guinea strain uses B. forskalii. Within the human body infestation is most often seen in the inferior mesenteric vein.
