Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Incubation of cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni in a 1:1 mixture of Eagle's Minimal Essential Medium and rat serum at 42 degrees C for only 5 minutes, plus subsequent vortexing, resulted in at least 98% conversion of cercariae to schistosomules. Subsequent centrifugation before or after settling for 30 minutes in an ice bath, resulted in schistosomule preparations with about 20% or 10% contamination with tail segments, respectively.
