Description

It is well known that Schistosoma japonicumtakes almost all mammals as its hosts, while there exists a difference in susceptibility between these hosts (Fujinami and Nakamura 1907, Tanaka 1925, Saito 1935, Kikuchi 1941 & 1942, Cram and Files 1947, Cram and Figgat 1947, Moore et al 1949, Yolles et al 1949, Yokogawa et al 1950, Tanaka et al 1951, Meleney et al 1952 & 1953, Ito 1953 & 1954, etc.) . The author et al (1950) already reported that the worms from rabbits and mice produced numerous eggs in their feces, whereas, those from guinea pigs and rats produced relatively few eggs in them.<BR>The purpose of this study was to determine in more details the suitability of common laboratory animals as experimental hosts for S. japonicum. The criteria used as a basis for comparing one animal with another were the percentage worm recovery in each host, the distribution of worms in them, the development and survival of worms in them and the pathological changes of the host. These criteria except the pathological changes were reported in the first chapter as “ecology of worms”. The pathological changes of the hosts in the liver, intestines, lungs, heart, kidneys and spleen were described in the next chapter.
