ABSTRACT
Two groups of laboratory-bred Swiss albino mice were used to study the lung-migration patterns of Schistosoma mekongi and S. spindale. The first group was individually infected with 100 S. mekongi cercariae by hair-looping application on shaved abdomen. The latter group was individually exposed to 500 S. spindale cercariae by tail immersion. Each group of these infected mice was then divided into subgroups. The number of schistosomulae was determined using a lung recovery assay starting from the second day after infection and continuing for 15 consecutive days. The results revealed a sharp peak of both S. mekongi and S. spindale on the fifth day post cercarial infection.
