Chemosterilization of Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
THE range of chemical agents which can produce sterility in experimental male rodents is gradually increasing. (For recent surveys, see Jackson1,2.) The list includes nitroaromatic compounds, for example, nitrofuranes, nitrothiazoles and nitropyrroles, besides a variety of compounds of the alkylating category.

The Mannose Receptor in Regulation of Helminth-Mediated Host Immunity
Infection with parasitic helminths affects humanity and animal welfare. Parasitic helminths have the capacity to modulate host immune responses to promote their survival in infected hosts, often for a long time leading to chronic infections.
