Abstract

Host-parasite complex Schistosoma mansoni Snails
Susceptibilities of various molluscan hosts to different strains of the parasites were reviewed. Cellular reactions following host-parasite associations were elucidated. Moreover, metabolic similarities, integration and biochemical adaptation of the parasite and host were also investigated in an attempt to elucidate factors affecting the host-parasite relationship.
