Abstract:
One hundred and twenty Swiss albino mice were infected with avirulent strain of Toxoplasma gondii. Then challenged with Schistosoma mansoni at different time intervals of one week, one month and two months. The immunological and histopathological changes were assessed for each mouse. The results showed that toxoplasmosis caused specific humoral and cellular immunosuppression to Schistosoma mansoni infection.
