Pencegahan Schistosomiasis dengan Vaksinasi

Schistosomiasis,also known as bilharzia, is a zoonosis disease, schistosomiasis in Indonesia is due to blood trematode Schistosoma japonicum and Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis snail as intermediate host, Schistosoma sp is very difficult to remove, because the transmission is strongly influenced by environmental factors, habits, parasites, vectors and hosts. This journal was aimed to describe some of the vaccine candidates against S. japonicum with their level of efficacy. This writing method uses literature search by examining scientific journals related to the development of schistosomiasis vaccine research, especially for S. japonicum. The results of this journal will help the community about the importance of vaccines. Schistosomiasis vaccine candidate proteins showed varying levels of efficacy and no one has the most potential. Although the development of vaccines against schistosomiasis is quite difficult, the research must still be continued.
