Cercarial suspension was spilt by only 2/44 sheep during infestation with Schistosoma mattheei. Using a battery of seven cages, it was possible to infest 23 sheep, each for 30 minutes, in one day. No cercariae were more than 4 and a half hours old at the end of exposure.en©1975 ARC-Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). ©2016 University of Pretoria.
