Examination of extracts of lyophilized cercariae and adults of Schistosoma mansoni showed that they contain less carbohydrate than do other helminths and only a small amount of protein(bound carbohydrates. Cercariae contain 50% less carbohydrate but more protein than adults. The proteins are extremely sensitive to extremes of temperature. Electrophoretic analysis revealed 10 protein systems in adults and 8 in cercariae.
