Abstract
This paper describes the design of a study on immunity to reinfection after treatment of children with Schistosoma mansoni infections, the initial observations on transmission that led to the selection of the study population, the effects of treatment, and the results of immunological tests carried out before and at five weeks after treatment.Keywords
