A comparison of the glycolipid compositions of cercarial and adult Schistosoma mansoni and their associated hosts.
Glycolipid patterns of cercarial and adult Schistosoma mansoni were determined and compared with those of Biomphalaria glabrata snails and mouse (BALB/c strain) red blood cells by high-performance thin-layer chromatography. Differences in glycolipid content were found between cercariae and adult worms and between these stages and their respective host tissues.
