The congenital transmission of Schistosoma japonicum in mice was investigated. 18 pregnant mice were each infected with cercariae (60+or-1) of S. japonicum and divided into three groups. Group E (n=6), group M (n=6) and group L (n=6) mice were infected during early, mid- and late gestation, respectively. Mice and litter mice were examined for worms by perfusion after infection for 30-40 days.
