Abstract
Schistosoma curassoni has been recovered from cattle in northern Nigeria. Rectal scrapings of 90 cows slaughtered at the Kano abattoir, Kano, Nigeria during March and April 1986 revealed a prevalence of 7·8% S. bovis and 2·2% S. curassoni. Further examination of the mesenteric and rectal veins of 502 cows showed that the overall prevalence of schistosomiasis was 31·1%. Local Bulinus globosus were infected successfully in the laboratory with S. bovis miracidia.Keywords
