Holochilus brasiliensis and nectomys squamipes (Rodentia-Cricetidae) natural hosts of Schistosoma mansoni
After several Brazilian researches, the author examines the capacity of two species of rodents Cricetidae, Holochilus brasiliensis and Nectomys squamipes, to maintain the biological cycle of Schistosoma mansoni in the field and to be parasite reservoir: (a) the role they are able to play in human endemy; (b) the methods necessary to characterize the population of Schistosoma mansoni related either to man, either to rodents, either to both.
