A study of 4,600 sera by means of a micro-method of complement fixation with a delipidated antigen allowed to evaluate the significance of intestinal bilharziosis at la Martinique and to precise its geographical distribution in the various areas of the island. The mean infestation ratio (about 27 0/0) is much higher than that obtained with parasitologic techniques; it confirms the great sensitivity of immunological methods and the high percentage of infested people in these areas. On the other hand the study of infestation ratio in the various places shows the role played by the hydrographic system and its relationship with the habitat: a fundamental opposition is observed between two areas: the North of the island, which is damp, with many rivers and highly infested, and the South, dry, with a much lower infestation ratio.
通过一种使用脱脂抗原的微量补体结合法对4600份血清进行的研究，得以评估马提尼克岛肠道血吸虫病的重要性，并明确其在该岛不同区域的地理分布。平均感染率（约27%）远高于通过寄生虫学技术获得的感染率；这证实了免疫方法的高度敏感性以及这些地区受感染人群的高比例。另一方面，对不同地点感染率的研究表明了水系所起的作用及其与栖息地的关系：在该岛的两个区域之间观察到了根本差异：岛的北部潮湿，河流众多，感染率很高，而南部干燥，感染率则低得多。
