[Current risks in the introduction of schistosomiasis into French Guiana].
At the moment, it seems unlikely that there is a possibility for schistosomiasis implantation in French Guiana. The reasons to this are both the number of the immigrants infested by Schistosoma mansoni which is quite low and the disappearance of the intermediate host Biomphalaria glabrata. The disappearance of the species may be a temporary one.
