The malacofauna vector of human schistomes of the four Kimpese rivesis is made of three gastropods molluscs species. They are Biomphalaria pfifferie KRAUSS (1848), Bulinus forskalii EHRENBERG, 1831, and B. globosus MORELET, 1866. The results on the parasitological profile show that sex and age influenced the contamination. Children at school age are more infected (mostly boys), that situation is promoted by bathing in these four Kimpese lotic systems. For adults, on the other hand, women are slightly more affected than men due to their permanence in rivers infested by schistosome cercariae.
Author Keywords: Malacofaune, dulcicole, cercaires, human schistomiasis and Kimpese.

They are Biomphalaria pfifferie KRAUSS (1848), Bulinus forskalii EHRENBERG, 1831, and B. globosus MORELET, 1866. The results on the parasitological profile show that sex and age influenced the contamination. Children at school age are more infected (mostly boys), that situation is promoted by bathing in these four Kimpese lotic systems. For adults, on the other hand, women are slightly more affected than men due to their permanence in rivers infested by schistosome cercariae.

Abstract: (french)
La malacofaune vectrice des schistosomes humaines des quatre rivières de Kimpese est constituée de trois espèces des Mollusques gastéropodes. Il s’agit de Biomphalaria pfifferie KRAUSS 1848, Bulinus forskalii EHRENBERG 1831, de B. globosus MORELET 1866. Les résultats sur les profils parasitologiques montrent que le sexe et l’âge influences la contamination. Les enfants en âge scolaire sont le plus touchés (surtout les garçons), situation favorisée par les baignades dans ces quatre systèmes lotiques de Kimpese. Chez les adultes, par contre, les femmes sont légèrement plus touchées que les hommes suite à leur permanence dans les rivières infestées par les cercaires des schistosomes.
Author Keywords: Malacofaune, dulcicole, cercaires, schistosomiase humaine et Kimpese.
