Bilharzia (Male & Female)
A model of male and female Schistosoma worms, which cause bilharzia, can be used to study the differences between the sexes and to develop vaccines. 
Male and female Schistosoma worms
  • Male worms: Robust, tuberculate, and measure 6-12 mm in length 
     
  • Female worms: Slender, longer than males, and measure 7-17 mm in length 
     
  • Sex-specific differences: Male worms have large tubercles and rigid spines, while female worms have a smoother surface and fewer spines 
     
  • Developmental stage: The developmental stage of adult worms depends on mating status 
     
Models of Schistosoma worms
