This work aimed to study the possible effects and pathogenesis of schistosomiasis on the eye. This study involved 55 hamsters; five hamsters remained non-infected and the remaining 50 hamsters were infected with<jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic>cercariae. Infected hamsters were sacrificed on weeks 8, 12, 16 and 20 post-infection (pi). Eye sections were prepared and stained for histopathological and immunohistochemical studies. Histopathological changes detected in hamsters infected after 16 and 20 weeks included looseness and oedema of the innermost retinal layers together with hyperplastic polypoid growth. Neither eggs nor granulomata were detected in eye sections throughout the experimental period. Deposition of<jats:italic>S. mansoni<\/jats:italic>antigen was revealed in 35% of infected hamsters. Later, on weeks 16 and 20 pi, moderate subepithelial conjuctival deposits and marked subchoroidal and scleral deposition were detected. In conclusion, the deposition of schistosomal antigen and immune complexes may play a pivotal role in the ocular changes that occur in schistosomiasis, even in the absence of detectable<jats:italic>Schistosoma<\/jats:italic>eggs. Schistosomiasis should be suspected in cases with unexplained ophthalmological findings, especially in endemic areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x1500111x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,17]],"date-time":"2016-02-17T10:14:54Z","timestamp":1455704094000},"page":"773-778","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Ocular pathological changes in hamsters experimentally infected with<i>Schistosoma mansoni<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"H.I.H.","family":"Ismail","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.S.","family":"Ashour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.M.","family":"Abou Rayia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.L.","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X1500111X_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0102-86502009000600014"},{"key":"S0022149X1500111X_ref36","first-page":"381","article-title":"Immunohistochemical study of schistosomal soluble egg antigen in male genital organs of Schistosoma mansoni infected mice","volume":"31","author":"Yassien","year":"2001","journal-title":"Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology"},{"key":"S0022149X1500111X_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0181-5512(04)96262-6"},{"key":"S0022149X1500111X_ref34","unstructured":"WHO (2014) Schistosomiasis.
