Swimmers' itch, also called cercarial dermatitis (Figure 1), is a disease of humans that occurs worldwide, with cases reported from every continent except Antarctica. It is called "koganbyo" in Japan, "sawah itch" in Malaya and "clamdigger's itch" on Long Island, New York. Any pond, wetland, lake or estuary that is inhabited or visited by both intermediate snail and final bird or mammal hosts is a potential source of infection.
