Schistosoma haematobium existed historically in the far South of Portugal (Algarve). It was never common, but can be considered erradicated today. There aren't any cases for years, and cases found in African immigrants are rare enough to be published as curiosities. 194.65.151.53 (talk) 16:14, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Schistosomiasis in Ancient Egypt: The ‘AAA’ Debate https://prism.ucalgary.ca/server/api/core/bitstreams/b352bad7-cd68-4ab5-a92f-57c628a57055/content Walyso (talk) 21:28, 22 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I removed the reference to "aaa", but since the basis for haematuria being recorded in Ancient Egyptian medical papyri seems to be from translating "aaa" as such, the whole first sentence of the History section may need to be removed. Further sources confirming this interpretation among scholars would be appreciated, as the idea that "aaa" meant bloody urine is found in older academic sources.  The best I could find other than the above source about "aaa" meaning an evil influence was a letter to the editor in a 1996 medical journal: https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/15354 2603:6011:2DF0:2850:B434:4E3D:DD63:9A23 (talk) 22:39, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
