Chemoattraction studies were done with S. mansoni adults from mice. To test for attraction or repulsion, some worm pairs were separated mechanically and the individuals placed in polycarbonate chambers. Experiments were done at 37.degree. C and chambers contained dialysis tube chimneys. In all cases, heterosexual attraction occurred when one worm, but not 2 worms, were placed in the chimneys. Unperforated chimneys with specific MW exclusions were compared with perforated chimneys to study heterosexual attraction. Attraction was similar in designs using perforated chimneys and those with 50,000 and 12,000 MW exclusions, but none was seen in chimney designs with 1000 (MW) exclusions.
