Abstract
The apparent penetration activity of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae was quantified by means of an in vitro assay with a radioactively labeled Type I collagen gel. Both live cercariae and cercarial preacetabular gland secretions degraded the collagen. The addition of skin lipid or linoleic acid to the gel surface enhanced the degradation by live cercariae.
