Abstract
Atypical Schistosoma haematobium eggs were found in a bladder biopsy from an African migrant with severe Schistosomiasis. Amplification of mitochondrial (cox 1) and genomic (ITS2) DNA identified the presence of a S. haematobium-Schistosoma bovis hybrid. Phylogenetic analysis clustered the hybrid sequence with other sequences from western Africa.
