Therefore, the H. sciureus rodent shows a high natural infection rate for S. mansoni in the flooded fields of São Bento, regardless of the weather station, capture distance, and biological aspects. Additionally, we have demonstrated that H. sciureus naturally parasitized with S. mansoni may inhabit a much more extensive area that is currently described in the literature.
