    Abstract:
    Lethal effects of some washing powders, commonly used by local people in Cameroon, on Schistosoma mansoni cercariae have been investigated. Their specific toxicity and the influence of the water hardness on the toxicity of these compounds have been tested and standardized. The role of a local behaviour factor controlling schistosomiasis transmission in water contact sites is emphasized.
