Abstract
Abstract. A substantial portion (63%) of circulating schistosomal antigen was cleared from the serum of hyperinfected mice within 72 hours after treatment with the helminthocide, praziquantel. This result suggests that circulating antigen may be a diagnostically useful marker for active schistosomiasis.
