[Influence of ambiant temperature on evolution of Schistosoma mansoni in the mouse (author's transl)].
Mice infested with Schistosoma mansoni are kept continuously in an ambiant temperature of 35 degrees C for different periods and at different stages of the infestation. The effects of the hyperthermia thus provoked are evaluated by counting adult parasites and pulmonary schistosomules. There is a very considerable decrease in the number of parasites present, probably due to the action of the higher temperature on the early migratory phase of the schistosomules.
