Scanning electron micrograph of a schistosome parasite
Scanning electron micrograph of a schistosome parasite, which enters the body through the skin of persons coming in contact with infested waters. The adult worm lives in the veins of its host. This parasite has been associated with some cancers. The parasite is magnified x256 in this photograph

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scanning electron micrograph of a schistosome parasite. The intricate details captured in this image provide an up-close look at the fascinating world of zoology and wildlife. The schistosome parasite, magnified x256 in this photograph, enters the human body through contact with infested waters. Once inside, it takes residence within the veins of its host as an adult worm. This particular parasite has been linked to certain types of cancer, highlighting its significance in medical research. The striking visual reveals the unique features of this trematode organism - from its sucker-like mouth to its flatworm structure. Its presence underscores the importance of understanding diseases such as schistosomiasis (also known as snail fever or bilharzia) that can be caused by these parasites. Through advanced microscopy techniques like scanning electron microscopy, scientists delve into cell biology and pathology to unravel the mysteries surrounding pathogens like these schistosomes. Such scientific endeavors contribute greatly to our knowledge in biomedical fields and aid in developing effective healthcare solutions. This National Institutes of Health-accredited photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even within nature's smallest creatures lies immense complexity waiting to be explored by researchers dedicated to unraveling their secrets for the betterment of human health.
