A comparative study of the influence of physical factors on the survival and infectivity of miracidia of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium
In this study the influence of physical factors on the survival and infectivity of S. mansoni and S.haematobium miracidia was compared. The physical factors studied include termperature, light, gravity, depth, hydrostatic pressure, host-parasite dispersion, rate of flow of water and turbulence, ultr...
