Abstract
The presence of vitelline cells in male Schistosoma mansoni from both mixed and single sex infections in mice is described.Ultrastructurally these vitelline cells resemble the mature, Stage 4 cells from normal female worms. As yet no developing vitelline cells (Stages 1 to 3) have been found. The cells do not appear to form complete lobules as in the female.Keywords
