The survival, growth and egg laying capacity of S. mansoni worms surgically transplanted from mice into rats or from rats into hamsters was studied. Worms in the rat are stunted, remain localized in the liver and lay non-fertile eggs in small numbers. When transferred to the hamster, they increase in size, localize in the mesenteric veins and produce numbers of eggs approaching normal hamster-grown worms within 3 wk following transplantation. When adult mouse worms are injected into rats, they regress in size, remain in the liver and produce small numbers of incompletely developed eggs. These studies indicate that the physiological and reproductive status of the worm is strongly influenced by the host. In the nonpermissive host (the rat), the suppression of growth and egg laying is not permanent, since on transfer into a permissive environment (the hamster), stunted worms can resume growth and oviposition.
