title: [Numerical variation of ciliated papillae in the miracidia of different strains of Schistosoma mansoni, the organism producing intestinal bilharzia].
abstract: In the miracìdia of 13 strains of Schistosoma mansoni, silver impregnation points out variations in the number of ciliated papillae situated between tiers 2 and 3 of epidermal cells, correlative with the size of the miracidia. These variations are related to the intermediate and definitive hosts. The number of ciliated papillae gives objective information on the degree of adaptation between the parasite and its successive hosts.
