摘      要：Background:Hybrids between Schistosoma haematobium(Sh)and ***(Sb)have been found in several African countries as well as in *** the consequences of this hybridization are still unknown,this study aims to verify the presence of such hybrids in Cameroonian humans,to describe the structure of *** populations on a large geographic scale,and to examine the impact of these hybrids on genetic diversity and structure of these ***:From January to April 2019,urine from infected children was collected in ten geographically distinct popu‑*** were collected from eggs in this *** detect the presence of hybrids among these miracidia we genotyped both Cox1(RD-PCR)and ITS2 gene(PCR-RFLP).Population genetic diversity and structure was assessed by genotyping each miracidium with a panel of 14 microsatellite *** diversity was measured using both heterozygosity and allelic richness indexes,and genetic structure was analyzed using paired Fst,PCA and Bayesian ***:Of the 1327 miracidia studied,88.7% were identifed as pure genotypes of ***(Sh_Sh/Sh)while the remaining 11.3% were hybrids(7.0% with Sh_Sh/Sb,3.7% with Sb_Sb/Sh and 0.4% with Sb_Sh/Sb).No miracidium has been identifed as a pure genotype of *** richness ranged from 5.55(Loum population)to 7.73(MattaBarrage)and difered signifcantly between *** heterozygosity ranged from 53.7%(Loum)to 59%(Matta Barrage)with no signifcant *** overall genetic diferentiation inferred either by a principal compo‑nent analysis or by the Bayesian approach shows a partial *** populations(Loum and Matta Bar‑rage)were clearly separated from other localities but genetic diferentiation between northern localities was limited,certainly due to the geographic proximity between these ***:Hybrids between *** and *** were identifed in 11.3% of miracidia that hatched from eggs present in the urine o
