The susceptibility of Liberian and Puerto Rican strains of Schistosoma mansoni to antischistosomal drugs was compared. The Liberian strain was more sensitive than the Puerto Rican strain to lucanthone · HCl, SQ 18,506, and stibophen. Parameters tested 90 days after treatment were hatching of eggs, parasitological cures, and extent of worm reductions.
