title: [Differences in the sensilla of African and American cercaria of Schistosoma mansoni, the agent of human intestinal bilharziasis].
abstract: Schistosoma mansoni parasite of the human intestinal bilharziasis is frequently transmitted in Africa by the Snail Biomphalaria pfeifferi and in America by Biomphalaria glabrata. The comparison between four African strains of cercariae obtained from Biomphalaria pfeifferi and five American strains from Biomphalaria glabrata points out variations in the number and arrangement of the sensory receptors.
