The differences between the long chain polyenoic acids of adult Schistosoma mansoni and the serum of its host

1. 1. A marked quantitative difference was found between the polyenoic fatty acid components of the mammalian blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni and that of the serum of Praomys ( Mastomys) natalensis. 2. 2. The linoleic acid series was proportionally higher and the linolemic acid series proportionally...

Summary:1. 1. A marked quantitative difference was found between the polyenoic fatty acid components of the mammalian blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni and that of the serum of Praomys ( Mastomys) natalensis. 2. 2. The linoleic acid series was proportionally higher and the linolemic acid series proportionally lower in the parasite tissues than in the host serum.
