The effect of artemisone administered by gavage on S. mansoni infections. Infected mice were treated by gavage at days 18 and 25 (A), and at day 21, 29 and 35 (B) post infection (PI). Each point represents one mouse. Mice were dissected at day 49 PI and schistosomes counted. n = 5 in the control groups and 6 in the experimental groups. Difference was significant between the control group and the two artemisone treated groups group (<0.01) but was more pronounced in mice that were treated thrice compared to those that were treated twice (97.1 % vs. 70.4% reduction, respectively).
