Abstract: Abstract Schistosomiasis is snails intermediated disease that infects humans and other mammals. Schistosomiasis distributed in various parts of Asia, Africa and America. Schistosomiasis in Indonesia is only found in the highlands of Napu, Lindu and Bada, Central Sulawesi. Intermediate snail of schistosomiasis in Indonesia is Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis . Schistosomiasis control strategies in many countries are generally conducted by controlling intermediate snail using mechanic ways, molluscicide, and biological control. Development of vaccines and better diagnostic techniques are expected to help reduce infection in humans. Some basic research about molecular aspect of schistosomiasis have been conducted to understand the interactions between snails and parasites, as well as the identification of genes that are expected to lead the snail resistant to infection. Key words: Schistosomiasis, snail, molluscicides Abstrak Schistosomiasis merupakan salah satu penyakit yang diperantarai oleh keong yang menginfeksi manusia dan hewan mamalia lain. Schistosomiasis tersebar di berbagai wilayah kawasan Asia, Afrika dan Amerika. Schistosomiasis di Indonesia hanya ditemukan di dataran tinggi Napu, Lindu dan Bada, Sulawesi Tengah. Keong perantara schistosomiasis di Indonesia adalah Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis . Strategi pengendalian schistosomiasis di berbagai negara pada umumnya dilakukan dengan pengendalian keong perantaranya, baik secara mekanik, kimia dan biologi. Pengembangan vaksin dan teknik diagnosis yang lebih baik diharapkan dapat membantu pengurangan infeksi pada manusia. Beberapa penelitian dasar bidang molekuler telah dilakukan untuk memahami interaksi antara keong dan parasit, serta identifikasi gen yang diharapkan dapat menyebabkan keong resisten terhadap parasit.
