Abstract
- Schistosoma larvae and worms are studied by neutron scattering.
- Measurements on larvae were repeated after one day and by increasing temperature.
- The flexibility properties of larvae and adult parasites are compared.
- The parasite rigidity is related to their resistance to the hostile environment.
- Insight into the parasite defense mechanisms to the immune system attack is achieved.
