Abstract
Parasitological and clinico-pathological aspects of Schistosoma intercalatum infection in sheep were studied after exposure to 5000 cercariae per animal. It was shown that the infection, in spite of relatively high tissue egg counts, only gave rise to low-grade clinico-pathological manifestations with almost unaffected blood parameters. The parasites were mainly located in the lower part of the intestinal tract, and the number of eggs being passed in faeces was very low.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
