    Author: He Y.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi; 1990 Sep; 70(9):494-7, 36. PubMed ID: 1964850.
    Abstract:
    The present study was undertaken to obtain fundamental data from rhesus monkey in the course of infection with Chinese mainland strain of Schistosoma japonicum under laboratory condition. 15 normal monkeys were infected by cutaneous exposure to 200 cercariae for each animal. The following items were observed: the dynamic distribution of schistosomulum in the skin; the average of worm recovery rate; the size of mature worms of both sexes; the size of mature eggs from the feces; the mean prepatent period; the duration of egg passage in the feces and the histopathological changes of the skin, liver and gastro-intestinal tract at different time intervals after infection. Our results showed that rhesus monkey is a permissive host for Chinese mainland strain of S. japonicum and a spontaneous recovery happened due to gradual disappearance of the worms at later stage.
