title: A comparison of the glycolipid compositions of cercarial and adult Schistosoma mansoni and their associated hosts.
abstract: 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.
