title: [Demonstration of replication of daughter sporocysts in the natural development of Schistosoma japonicum].
abstract: The participation of replicating sporocysts in the intramolluscal development of Schistosoma japonicum within its snail host Oncomelania hupensis is demonstrated by histological studies. Replicating sporocysts were observed in snails maintained under both standard and hibernation conditions. The demographic and epidemiological importance of the replication process within schistosomes is discussed comparatively.
