Abstract

A simple technique is described for maintaining the life of adult schistosomes in vitroover a period of several weeks which, with frequent changes of medium, may be extended to 2½months. This is made possible by the use of small tissue culture flasks, which prevent bacterial contamination and desiccation of the media. The latter may be either horse, sheep or rabbit sera or human ascitic fluid.
