The different geotactic behaviour of the two species of cercariae brings them into the ecological range of their different second intermediate hosts. |
Serum cytokines of the 20Krad-irradiated Schistosoma mansoni cercariae vaccinated, primary and superinfected Cercopethicus aethiops aethiops. |
Total RNA was isolated separately from miracidia, sporocysts, cercariae, schistosomulum, and male and female adult worms. |
It was not only possible to generate mother sporocysts from miracidia in vitro, but also to obtain adult worms from cercariae through in vitro cultivation. |
The larvae inside the snail host produce several thousands of cercariae. |
Through a complex process of asexual replication, each miracidium larva gives rise to dozens, or even hundreds, of cercariae. |
