Note on a Schistosoma Cercaria with Four Pairs of Flame Cells in the Body
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
1. A brief account is given of a schistosoma cercaria obtained from Bulinus truncatus possessing four pairs of flame cells in the body.
A monkey, Cercopithecus sebaeus, was experimentally infected with this cercaria, adult male and female S. haematobium being formed in the mesenteric veins, and terminal spined ova in the sub-mucosa of the colon.
The view is expressed that this cercaria was probably an aberrant form of the cercaria of S. haematobium.
