Abstract
The hypothesis that granuloma modulation and disease abatement in chro nic infection with Schistosoma japonicum could be ascribed to antibody -mediated effects on egg maturation and egg viability arose from studi es performed with mice in the Philippines. This novel hypothesis has n ot yet been integrated into the schistosomiasis literature despite bei ng formulated more than a decade ago. One reason for this is that the phenomenon might be confined to S. japonicum, even S. japonicum (Phili ppines).
