Measurements of 500 eggs respectively of S. bovis, S. mattheei and S. haematobium were made. These measurements included length, maximum breadth, and breadth at a point 50 microns from the non-spiked end of the egg. Statistical analysis of the results shows that it is possible, to differentiate between the three groups of eggs.Reasons are adduced for suggesting that the statement that S. mattheei cannot infect man is not well founded; the question is under active investigation by the author.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
