Parthenogenesis in schistosomatidae.
Among which species, in what situations and how, does parthenogenesis occur in the biology of reproduction of schistosomes? Here, José Jourdane, Daniéle Imbert-Establet and Louis Albert Tchuem Tchuenté review the literature on parthenogenesis in schistosomes, and debate the evolutionary aspects of this type of reproduction.
