    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology and anatomy; Baboon; BALB c mice; Chemotherapy; Cytokines; Fibrosis; Granuloma; Modulation; Pathology; Reinfection; Schistosoma mansoni; Th1; Th2; Fysiologi och anatomi; Physiology and pharmacology; Fysiologi och farmakologi; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a series of experiments aimed at elucidating the mechanisms ofimmunity and pathology elicited by both a primary infection and a reinfection exposure toSchistosoma mansoni following chemotherapy. The effects of a single large cercarial doseand a cumulatively equivalent dose, administered as multiple small doses are compared. READ MORE
