Extract

The worm recoveries of two strains of S. haematobium from male hamsters and their egg laying capacities are studied. The infection rates obtained, the size of worms, and the number of testes and the distribution of eggs in hamster tissues are compared with those described for other strains of S. haematobium. It is emphasized that infra-specific variations in the host may also, in part, account for many of the differences that are attributed to different geographical strains of the parasite.
