Schistosome Materials for Vaccine Development.
Abstract
Temperature and food being controlled at optimal levels, the presence of rotifers in the snail colonies was the most important factor in parasite maintenance. Rotifer infestation of schistosome-infected snails was highly inimical to parasite development. With rotifer control, large numbers of schistosomes and products of host-shistosome interaction were produced on a weekly schedule. Limits of variability in production of parasites were set for the laboratory conditions. (Author)
