SYSTEMATICALLY IMPROVED IN VITRO CULTURE CONDITIONS REVEAL NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF THE HUMAN PARASITE SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI.

Systematically improved in vitro culture conditions reveal new insights into the reproductive biology of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni.

Schistosomes infect over 200 million people.The prodigious egg output of these parasites is the sole driver of pathology due to infection, yet our understanding of sexual reproduction by schistosomes is limited because normal egg production is not sustained for more than a few days in vitro.Here, we describe culture conditions that support schistos
