[Schistosoma mansoni experimental schistosomiasis in Erythrocebus patas monkeys (author's transl)].
A number of Erythrocebus patas monkeys have been experimentally infected only once, with Schistosoma mansoni local strain. The various parasitological, biological and immunological observations show that E. patas is a very adequate host to Schistosoma mansoni and that it develops an intestinal schistosomiasis parasitologically very close to human schistosomiasis. It is noted that in this case of single infection E. patas reactions are the same as the other species generally used in the experiments on S. mansoni.
