Changes in the tegumental surface of Schistosoma haematobium during development in the mammalian host.
The development of surface of Schistosoma haematobium in the mammalian host was studied by scanning electron microscopy, beginning with lung stages obtained at 7 days, and at various intervals thereafter to completion of development. The major changes observed were similar to those previously seen in Schistosoma mansoni.
