Table 1.

The table presents the mean number of cercariae and male and female trematodes that were recovered from mice exposed to 100 cercariae of the S. mansoni BH strain and inoculated 8 weeks later with eggs from the S. mansoni BH (Group III) or SJ (Group IV) strains. The mice were euthanized 1, 8, 15, and 34 days after being inoculated with eggs in the caudal vein.

IV	95.00				A
III		17.75			A
IV		9.10			B
III			18.87		A
IV			8.50		B
