Abstract
Some biological characteristics of Schistosoma bovis Morocco, Sardinia and Iran in hamsters are described and discussed. Differences in infectivity, growth rates, maturation times, egg production and tissue deposition of eggs in the different strains are recorded. The egg shape and size of S. bovis Morocco, Sardinia, Iran, Kenya and S. mattheei are compared, as are the acid phosphatase, malate dehydrogenase and glucose 3-phosphate dehydrogenase isoenzymes. The compatibility/incompatibility of the same four strains of S. bovis to various members of the five species complexes of the genus Bulinus are recorded.Keywords
