RESUMO

Expressed cDNA encoding a proteolytic enzyme from Schistosoma mansoni has been cloned recently. Circulating antibodies reacting with the recombinant protein have been detected in the blood of mice and humans infected with S. mansoni, S. japonicum, or S. haematobium. S. mansoni and S. haematobium infection can be distinguished by antibody titer.
