Abstract
2 calves have been experimentally infected with a Puerto Rican strain of S. mansoni. They developed mature infections and passed viable eggs in the faeces. The parasitological and pathological findings in these animals were compared with similar observations in 2 calves infected with S. mattheei. Further studies are necessary to assess the role of cattle as natural hosts of this infection.Keywords
