The penetration into the human skin by the cercariae of bird schistosomes usually causes a prickling sensation and itching rash or papules which sometimes become pustular and may be accompanied by considerable swelling. This condition, called paddy field dermatitis, annoys many farmers working in the paddy field. As we had previously reported, the paddy field dermatitis spread among farmers living in Izumiotsu city, Osaka, in June and July of 1981. Epidemiological and parasitological studies in 1982 revealed that there were 2 patients in Sone, 1 patient in Abiko, 3 patients in Itabara (Izumiotsu city), and 2 patients in Toriishi (Takaishi city). The data also suggested that the paddy field dermatitis spread among farmers in Izumiotsu and Takaishi city from 1980. A search for the snail hosts such as Austropeplea ollula and Polypylis hemisphaerula collected from endemic areas revealed that these snails had no cercaria which is capable of inducing paddy field dermatitis. Accordingly, the species of bird schistosome causing the dermatitis in Izumiotsu and Takaishi city is at present uncertain.
