[Permissivity of the rat (Rattus rattus) of Guadeloupe with regard to Schistosoma mansoni and evidence for migration of adult schistosomes to the lungs].
In contrast to the laboratory Rat, the Rat (Rattus rattus) of Guadeloupe is a favorable host for the life cycle of S. mansoni: the parasite population is maintained at a high level (between 8 and 16% in this host until the 16th week and reproduces normally). The evolution of the parasitose is marked, shortly after the 8th week, by a transfer of schistosomes from the liver to the lungs.
