caption_attribution_description: English: Indian Rhino of Assam, Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India.
context_page_description: Bivitellobilharzia nairi is a species of trematodes, part of the family Schistosomatidae. It is most closely related to the blood fluke Bivitellobilharzia loxodontae, which uses African forest elephants as a definitive host. Each of these schistosomes, that are part of the genus Bivitellobilharzia, sit near the base of a branch within the schistosome family that contains mammal-infecting species.
  This is a fairly new identified endoparasite that was found in 1955 by Mudaliar and Ramanujachari, who first recorded the parasite in India. Researchers collected fecal samples of the Indian rhinoceros and were startled to find B. nairi eggs.
