abstract：:In schistosomiasis, the host/parasite interaction remains not completely understood. Many questions related to the susceptibility of snails to infection by respective trematode still remain unanswered.

We have found that Th2 cytokine responses (e.g. IL-4 and IL-5) are augmented after egg laying begins while Th1 responses (IL-2 and IFN-gamma) are down regulated in S. mansoni infected mice. Treatment of mice with anti-IL-5 monoclonal an...
