[Method for the individual maintenance of mollusks infected with Schistosoma larvae in a thermostatic apparatus].
A technique has been suggested for individual maintenance of intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni, molluscs of the genus Biomphalaria, in thermostat water bath with thermoregulator in order to study the host-parasite relationships in the mollusc-trematode system. Advantages of the suggested technique have been shown for studying total production of Cercaria when estimating the compatibility degree of various strains of S. mansoni and races of molluscs of some species of the genus Biomphalaria.
