Factors affecting the acquisition of resistance againstSchistosoma mansoniin the mouse

Abstract
Infection of mice with Plasmodium chabaudi induced a state of relative unresponsiveness to a challenge of sheep erythrocytes in terms of serum antibody titres, but failed to affect the degree of acquired resistance to reinfection with Schistosoma mansoni irrespective of whether the primary or challenge schistosome infection was administered during the peak malaria parasitaemia.
