First recovery of Schistosoma mansoni eggs from a latrine in Europe (15-16th centuries).

چکیده
Schistosoma mansoni eggs were found in a latrine dated AD 1450-1550 in Montbéliard, France. This is the first record of intestinal schistosomiasis in archaeological material. Because the parasite has an African origin, its presence in Europe at that time may be due to African slaves. However, intestinal schistosomiasis has never been established in Europe.

Study of the morphological characteristics of Schistosoma mansoni in mice, squirrels, and hamsters.
This study attempted to describe mophological characteristics of S. mansoni worms. In the present study, 6 hamsters, 35 squirrels and 141 mice were infected with pooled cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni by intraperitoneal and percutaneous routes. The worm recovery rate was 18.2% (257/1,412) in hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus); 10.1% (3,310/32,792) in squirrels (Callosciurus erythraeus roberti) an...

متن کاملExperimental schistosomiasis in the common marmoset Callithrix jacchus.
In order to evaluate Callithrix jacchus as an animal model for mansoni schistosomiasis, a group of 10 male animals were once percutaneously exposed to 250 cercariae of the Schistosoma mansoni SLM (São Lourenço da Mata) strain. Animals were periodically bled for measuring serum level of enzymes and proteins and for blood cell counting. When comparing pre-infection to post-infection values, a sig...
