Sera from 100 patients with Schistosoma mansoni infection and from 152 others including normal persons and those suffering from unrelated diseases were examined by immunofluorescent (IF) (using whole worm particle antigen) and haemagglutination (HA) (using formalin-treated sensitized human erythrocytes) tests. The tests were easy to carry put and proved suitable for epidemiological studies.
