Effect of aestivation of Biomphalaria pfeifferi on the survival and infectivity of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae

Schistosoma mansoni cercariae from post-aestivated Biomphalaria pfeifferi remain motile for 20 hours after release. Thereafter, their activity decreases with age. The difference in mortality rate of cercariae from aestivated and non-aestivated B. pfeifferi studied here proved to be statistically sig...
