Studies on immunity in schistosomiasis, as in other parasitic infections, have followed two distinct directions: first, the use of experimental animal models, in either natural or unnatural host-parasite combinations; and, secondly, the use of assay systems for studying immune effector mechanisms m vilro. Each of these two approaches, which are not mutually exclusive, has its own advantages and disadvantages. The experimental animal models may permit the identification of effector mechanisms that are demonstrably involved in mediating immunity In vivo. However, there appears to be a wide species variation in host response to schistosome infection (reviewed by Smithers & Terry 1976, Phillips & Colley 1978) and there is no evidence that any experimental animal provides an accurate reflection of the situation in man. In contrast, studies in vilro can provide no direct evidence for the role of various effector mechanisms in vivo. However, they do allow a more precise identification and detailed analysis of each mechanism than would be po.ssibie in vivo: and, more importantly, they can be carried out with human materials, and therefore offer an approach to the study of human immunity.
