Schistosoma japonicum: size of egg granulomas in vaccinated and non-vaccinated hosts as observed in bovines.
The present paper reported the results of studies on the size of Schistosoma japonicum egg granulomas in susceptible and poorly susceptible, vaccinated and non-vaccinated, hosts as observed in bovines. It was noted that in both cattle and buffaloes, the mean size of the granuloma was smaller in vaccinated than in the non-vaccinated. The vaccinated bovines will accordingly not only be benefited by the reduction of the survival rate of the challenged schistosomula but also by decreasing the size of the egg granulomas.
