Abstract
THE schistosomicidal activity of the mirasan series (I) and of cyclic analogues (II) and (III) in different host species has been reviewed1,2. Members of all three series displayed high activity in mice, but none of these compounds appeared to be active in primates except members of series (III), which displayed some activity in monkeys although they lacked convincing activity in man.
