Seroepidemioplogy of schistosomiasis mansoni [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
In population surveys in which the Schistosoma mansoni intensity of infection is low, or in localities where the schistosomiasis control program had success, the parasitologic methods lack in sensitivity. Despite of some limitations, the immunological methods are useful to provide valuable information in such field conditions.
