[Schistosoma mansoni and haematobium antisera tested by homologous and heterologous antigens. Comparison of the results obtained by indirect immunofluorescence technic]
Abstract
The study of anti Schistosoma mansoni and anti Schistosoma haematobium sera by homologous and heterologous antigen shows that Schistosoma haematobium has an immunogenic strength as good as that of Schistosoma mansoni. The joint use of the two antigens can be useful in epidemiologic investigations in Africa so as to track down seats of Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium and the prevalence of the infection.
