The percutaneous (leg and thorax and abdomen) and subcutaneous routes of infestation with Schistosoma mattheei were compared in 29 sheep. Larger percentages of cercariae developed after percutaneous than subcutaneous infestation and the difference was highly significant (P less than 0,0001). Furthermore, if the leg was used for percutaneous infestation worm development was significantly higher (P less than 0,02) when the skin was washed thoroughly in water before exposing it to cercariae, than when it was left unwashed. Washing was apparently not necessary if the thorax and abdomen served as the route of infestation.
在29只绵羊中比较了经皮（腿部、胸部和腹部）和皮下感染马特西血吸虫的途径。与皮下感染相比，经皮感染后尾蚴发育的比例更高，差异极显著（P<0.0001）。此外，如果将腿部用于经皮感染，在将皮肤暴露于尾蚴之前彻底用水清洗，其蠕虫发育显著更高（P<0.02），而未清洗时则不然。如果以胸部和腹部作为感染途径，清洗显然没有必要。
