Observations on the ability of repeated, light exposures to Schistosoma mansoni cercariae to induce resistance to reinfection in Kenyan baboons (Papio anubis)

Schistosoma mansoni, baboons exposed to different regimes of infections (trickle exposure, trickle exposure followed by massive challenge, single massive exposure), apparent cercarial penetration, fecal egg counts, adult worm recoveries, gross pathology, tissue egg counts, possible significance of r...
