Characterization, cloning and immunogenicity of antigens released by transforming cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2000 A schistosome infection is initiated when the parasite penetrates the skin of a susceptible host. Relatively large quantities of protein are released by transforming cercariae compared to later larval stages.

The protein antigens secreted in vivo by adult male Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 1997 Adult schistosomes can be transferred surgically from donor C57BL/6 mice to the portal veins of naive recipients with complete success. This procedure bypasses larval development and the antibody response of the host is directed against, and can be used ...

Schistosomiasis mansoni of the prostate [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2006 A 56-year-old man came to hospital for a routine checkup. His medical history and physical examination wereunremarkable. Laboratory evaluation was normal, except for aserum prostate specific antigen (PSA) of 6.5ng/mL (referencevalues: 0-3.5ng/mL). Digital rectal examination revealed anenlarged well-delimitated prostate.
