Abstract
THE in vitro effects of normal and immune serum on various nematode larvæ and on schistosome cercariæ have been described by a number of workers1. The use of helminth larvæ for the detection of natural and acquired immune responses has proved to be a very useful immunological tool, and some progress has been made towards using this method in the diagnosis of some nematode and blood-fluke infections.
