Abstract
Whether all Schistosoma species cause pulmonary hypertension (PH) is unclear. Experimentally exposing mice to Schistosoma haematobium eggs caused PH, which was less severe than that induced by S. mansoni exposure. These findings align with the relatively uncommon reports of pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with S. haematobium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
