“…Cawston (1921) stated that Murray had found the antigen equally effective for the diagnosis of Schistosoma japonicum, Schistosoma haematobium, or Schistosoma bovis infections. Tanabe (1923) using an antigen prepared from Lymnaea palustris infected with cercariae of Schistosoma pathlocopticum obtained positive results in a rat infested with this species, and in two others infected with Schistosoma japonicum. Fairley (1923) used an antigen made from the infected livers of Planorbis exustus (Schistosoma spindalis) on a series of goats infected with this parasite.…”

1. The preparation of a cercarial antigen from infected livers of Oncomelania hupensis the intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum in China is described.2. The sera of 49 human beings and five dogs have been investigated for the Schistosome complement fixation reaction, using as antigens Bilharzial cercarial antigen, and an alcoholic extract of the livers of Oncomelania hupensis infected with cercariae of S. japonicum.3. Thirty-seven of the 49 sera examined were from cases of Schistosomiasis, and of these 24 gave a positive complement fixation reaction, and 2 others a weak reaction.4. Of the five dogs examined three were infected with Schistosoma japonicum. These gave positive reactions.5. In 24 cases both antigens were used, and the results obtained were almost identical.6. The Bilharzial antigen was used in 33 cases including 25 cases of Schistosomiasis, of which 19 gave a positive reaction.7. In 40 cases the Oncomelania antigen was used. This series included 32 cases of Schistosomiasis of which 23 gave a positive reaction and 3 a weak positive reaction.8. Negative results were obtained with 50 strongly positive Wasserman sera, and with 2 cases of infection with Fasciolopsis buski, and two cases of Clonorchis sinensis. Ascaris and hookworm infestations also gave negative results.

1. The sera of 18 goats were investigated for the bilharzia complement fixation reaction, using as antigen alcoholic extract of the livers of snails (Planorbis exustus) infected with cercariae of S. spindale.2. The sera of 5 out of 7 goats harbouring S. mattheei, and of 4 out of 4 goats exposed to alimentary infection with S. bovis yielded positive results, the range of complement fixation varying from 5 to 20 M.H.D.'s.3. The sera of non-infected goats and of 3 goats exposed to infection with cercariae of S. mansoni from which these animals appear naturally immune, yielded negative reactions.4. The complement fixation reaction with cercarial antigen (S. spindale) has now been applied to infestation with 3 human and 4 cattle schistosomes, and its group applicability to mammalian schistosomiasis may be regarded as proven.
