Abstract

The release of Schistosoma mansoni eggs to the intestinal lumen of Swiss Webster albino mice is dependent on the peri-ovular inflammatory cells, especially eosinophils. The cells corrode the epithelial basal membrane and provide an easily penetrated environment for the eggs, allowing them to be passively expelled by intestinal peristalsis.
