Schistosoma mansoni cercariae will attach to the surface and easily can be visualized either stained or unstained. The trap works well under laboratory and field conditions where the retrieval rate varies from 30\% to 100\%. Under laboratory conditions there appears to be some form of affinity for cercariae to the surface.}, keywords = {*Fresh Water, Animals, Linoleic Acid, Linoleic Acids, Schistosoma mansoni/*isolation \& purification}, isbn = {0022-3395 (Print)
