Abstract
Ten homologous and heterologous antigens have been prepared from adult F. gigantica, S. mansoni and S. bovis , for the diagnosis of urinary schistosomiasis cases by the intradermal test. Their comparative sensitivity has been tested among control negative and known positive cases previously diagnosed, by the finding of S. haematobium ova in the urine.Keywords
