Lung-migration patterns of Schistosoma mekongi and S. spindale in mouse.

Lung-migration patterns of Schistosoma mekongi and S. spindale in mouse.

Two groups of laboratory-bred Swiss albino mice were used to study the lung-migration patterns of Schistosoma mekongi and S. spindale. The first group was individually infected with 100 S. mekongi cercariae by hair-looping application on shaved abdomen. The latter group was individually exposed to 5...
