Experience with a perfo-suction system for the recovery of schistosomes from laboratory rodents

Worm recoveries are an integral part of research work in schistosomiasis. An improved quantitative technique for the recovery of schistosome worms from laboratory rodents is described. Up to 95-100% of the worms are normally recovered, and up to 80 animals can be perfused per day.
