[Analysis of schistosome/molluscan vector compatibility].
The compatibility between Schistosomes and Molluscs cannot be accurately analysed by a single method. When a given host-parasite pairing is studied, it is necessary to test separately the performance of the parasite against the Mollusc, the performance of the defense mechanisms of the host and the performance of the host-parasite system when producing cercariae. In addition, the usual laboratory "strains" are not suitable for population genetics studies because of the impoverishment of the gene-pool.
