The pathogenic effects of experimental Schistosoma bovis infection in Sudanese sheep and goats were investigated by a variety of clinical, parasitological, physiological and histopathological techniques; uninfected animals of each species were used as controls. Infected animals of both species lost or failed to gain weight and developed a haemorrhagic diarrhoea, inappetence, marked anaemia, hypoalbuminaemia, hyperglobulinaemia, hyperproteinaemia and eosinophilia. These changes first became noticeable around the time of onset of oviposition and their severity was generally related to faecal egg counts. Red cell breakdown and albumin catabolism were much higher in infected than in control animals of the same species, and it was concluded that these changes were due to haemorrhage resulting from the extrusion of large numbers of eggs through the intestinal mucosa. Although all the animals were infected with the same number of cercariae, both the number of worms reaching maturity and the tissue egg counts tended to be higher in sheep than in goats. On the other hand, goats had significantly higher faecal egg counts than sheep and it is suggested that this was the reason for the generally more severe disease in the former species.
