Characterization of an atypical antigen from Sarcoptes scabiei containing an MADF domain.

abstract：:We investigated changes in the behaviour of Stagnicola elodes associated with the emergence of Plagiorchis elegans cercariae. Within 15 min of the reduction in light intensity, which triggered the onset of cercarial emergence, infected snails moved to the top of the water column and remained there for 2-3 h. Seventy-n...
