Abstract: Schistosomes interfere with the primary coagulation, secondary coagulation, and vascular endothelial functions of the host, and activate the fibrinolytic activity, which indicate the presence of anti-coagulation effect during schistosome parasitism. This review introduces research progress on the anti-coagulation mechanisms of schistosomes, in the aim to provide theoretical basis for development of antibodies against schistosome and novel anti-thrombotic or thrombolytic drugs.

Key words: Schistosome, Anti-coagulation, Platelet, Fibrinolysis
