title: Resistance to Schistosoma bovis in sheep induced by an experimental Fasciola hepatica infection.
abstract: Sheep infected with Fasciola hepatica for 10 wk acquired a substantial level of resistance to challenge with Schistosoma bovis. The worm burden was reduced by 87.2% (P < 0.01) compared with that of a control group. But when sheep primarily were infected with S. bovis and 6 wk later with F. hepatica, no significant reduction in the S. bovis burden was observed.
