Uptake of macromolecules by cercariae during skin penetration and transformation to schistosomula (Schistosoma mansoni)
Here, we observed the uptake of membrane-impermeant molecules by cercariae as they penetrate the skin and are transformed into schistosomula. We propose that membrane-impermeant molecules, Lucifer Yellow, Propidium iodide and Hoechst 33258 enter the parasite through both thenephridiopore and the sur...
