Which disease is specifically caused by Mansoni schistosomes and affects multiple organs?

The disease caused specifically by Mansoni schistosomes is indeed Schistosomiasis. This parasitic disease is caused by a type of blood fluke, particularly Schistosoma mansoni, which is one of the species in the Schistosoma genus that infects humans.

Schistosomiasis can affect multiple organs, primarily the liver and intestines, but it can also lead to complications in the bladder and other systems depending on the species involved. The infection occurs when larvae released by freshwater snails penetrate the skin of individuals who come into contact with contaminated water. Once inside the body, the adult flukes can cause chronic disease, characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and in severe cases, liver damage and complications due to high blood pressure in the liver.

Other diseases listed, such as Ascariasis, Filariasis, and Hookworm infection, are caused by different pathogens (roundworms or filarial worms) and do not directly involve the Mansoni schistosomes. They have their own specific transmission routes, life cycles, and organ systems they primarily affect, making them distinct from Schistosomiasis in terms of causation and pathology.
