The Use of Serology by Titering of Fluorescent Antibodies to Evaluate Levels of Transmission of Schistosomiasis in Rhodesia

C. J. Shiff AND C. Yiannakis
Blair Research Laboratory, P. O. Box 8105, Salisbury, Rhodesia

The prevalence of schistosomiasis has been measured by parasitological examination and by fluorescent antibody titering in a number of communities in different parts of Rhodesia. The samples were taken from areas of high, medium, and low transmission of the disease. A correlation was detected between the mean titer and prevalence of infection, particularly in the younger people (4–13 yars old). It is suggested that fluorescent antibody titrating may be a useful epidemiological tool.
