Abstract
Effects of artemether were examined on Schistosoma japonicum in mice. When the drug was given at a daily dosage of 200 mg/kg for 4 successive days from 46 days post-infection, a significant reduction in worm recovery was observed. A significant reduction in size of worms from the medicated mice was also seen compared with that from non-medicated controls.
