There are five species of flatworms that cause schistosomiasis. Each causes a different clinical presentation of the [[disease]]. Schistosomiasis may localize in different parts of the body, and its localization determines its particular clinical profile.

Species of ''Schistosoma'' that can infect humans:
Schistosomiasis may be classified into intestinal and urogenital schistosomiasis based on the organ involvement.

* ''[[Schistosoma mansoni]]'' ([[ICD|ICD-10]] B65.1) and ''[[Schistosoma intercalatum]]'' (B65.8) cause [[intestinal]] schistosomiasis
* ''[[Schistosoma haematobium]]'' (B65.0) causes [[urine|urinary]] schistosomiasis
* ''[[Schistosoma japonicum]]'' (B65.2) and ''[[Schistosoma mekongi]]'' (B65.8) cause [[Asia]]n intestinal schistosomiasis
Avian schistosomiasis species cause [[swimmer's itch]] and [[clam digger itch]]


Species of ''Schistosoma'' that can infect other animals:


''S. bovis'' — normally infects cattle, sheep and goats in Africa, parts of Southern Europe and the Middle East<br />
''S. mattheei'' — normally infects cattle, sheep and goats in Central and Southern Africa<br />
''S. margrebowiei'' — normally infects antelope, buffalo and waterbuck in Southern and Central Africa<br />
''S. curassoni'' — normally infects domestic ruminants in West Africa<br />
