Nasal bird schistosomes can cause bilharziosis in birds and have the potential to cause swimmer's itch in humans. We determined the prevalence of bird schistosomes in 106 mallards (Anas plathyrhynchos) from 11 water sources in Germany from 2014. Dissections were performed focusing on parasitic infections of the neural system. Infections with Trichobilharzia regenti (Horák et al. 1998) were found in 21% of the birds (n = 22), whereas Bilharziella polonica (Kowalewski 1895) were found between the brain membranes (meninges) and the brain, in the spinal cord or in the intestine of 12% of the mallards (n = 13). No significant influence of sex, age, and body condition between infected and non-infected animals was observed. Our study provides the first description of B. polonica from the neural system of birds and provides an epidemiological understanding of a parasite of human health concern.
