Biomphalaria alexandrina snails as immunogens against Schistosoma mansoni infection in mice [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2010
Despite effective chemotherapy, schistosomiasis remains the second largest public health problem in the developing world. Currently, vaccination is the new strategy for schistosomiasis control. The presence of common antigenic fractions between Schistosoma mansoni and its intermediate host provides a source for the preparation of a proper vaccine.
