In particular, avian blood flukes of the genus <jats:italic>Trichobilharzia<\/jats:italic> are infamous for their role in swimmer\u2019s itch cases. These parasites infect waterfowl as a final host, but incidental infections by cercariae in humans are frequently reported. Upon accidental infections of humans, parasite larvae will be recognized by the immune system and destroyed, leading to painful itchy skin lesions. However, one species, <jats:italic>Trichobilharzia regenti,<\/jats:italic> can escape this response in experimental animals and reach the spinal cord, causing neuroinflammation. In the last few decades, there has been an increase in case reports across Europe, making it an emerging zoonosis.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Following a reported case of swimmer\u2019s itch in Kampenhout in 2022 (Belgium), the transmission site consisting of a private pond and an adjacent creek was investigated through a malacological and parasitological survey.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Six snail species were collected, including the widespread <jats:italic>Ampullaceana balthica<\/jats:italic>, a well-known intermediate host for <jats:italic>Trichobilharzia<\/jats:italic> parasites. Shedding experiments followed by DNA barcoding revealed a single snail specimen to be infected with <jats:italic>T. regenti,<\/jats:italic> a new species record for Belgium and by extension the Benelux. Moreover, it is the most compelling case to date of the link between this neurotropic parasite and cercarial dermatitis. Additionally, an Echinostomatidae sp. and <jats:italic>Notocotylus<\/jats:italic> sp. were isolated from two other specimens of <jats:italic>A.\u00a0balthica<\/jats:italic>. However, the lack of reference DNA sequences for these groups in the online repositories prevented genus- and species-level identification, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The presence of <jats:italic>T.\u00a0regenti<\/jats:italic> in Belgium might have severe clinical implications and its finding highlights the need for increased vigilance and diagnostic awareness among medical professionals. The lack of species-level identification of the other two parasite species showcases the barcoding void for trematodes. Overall, these findings demonstrate the need for a Belgian framework to rapidly detect and monitor zoonotic outbreaks of trematode parasites within the One Health context.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Graphical Abstract<\/jats:title>\n                \n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13071-024-06218-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,13]],"date-time":"2024-03-13T15:06:51Z","timestamp":1710342411000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Expanding the swimmer\u2019s itch pool of the Benelux: a first record of the neurotropic Trichobilharzia regenti and potential link to human infection"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ruben","family":"Schols","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathalie","family":"Smitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann","family":"Vanderheyden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tine","family":"Huyse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"6218_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"165","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.00043-14","volume":"28","author":"P Hor\u00e1k","year":"2015","unstructured":"Hor\u00e1k P, Mike\u0161 L, Pansk\u00e1 L, Sk\u00e1la V, Sold\u00e1nov\u00e1 M, Brant S.
