ABSTRACT
Liver tissue of Schistosoma mansoni-infected hamsters has been tried to immunize white mice against Schistosoma mansoni infection. A saline suspension of liver tissue of infected hamsters was prepared and given subcutaneously in the ventral aspect of the abdominal wall to the right of the umbilicus. The present study proved that the used vaccine has a protective role in reducing the morbidity and mortality of the disease.
