Mice were divided into 3 groups: non-infected control, S. mansoni infected non-treated for 10 weeks and group receiving ozone intraperitoneally for 21 days 10 weeks postinfection. Results showed that ozone therapy in chronic schistosomiasis mansoni decreased worm burden, increased number of dead eggs, decreased both mature and immature eggs, increased RBC count, improved hemoglobin concentration with reduced reticulocytes %, as well as increased lymphocyte %, decreased neutrophil % and markedly increased eosinophil %.

Since the primary objective of mass chemotherapy in schistosomiasis control is reduction of schistosome-induced morbidity, it would be reasonable to assess the impact of a control program on the morbidity in a given population by investigating hepato-splenomegaly associated with schistosomiasis in a schistosomiasis endemic area. In this paper, the authors described the relationship between the prevalence, intensity and morbidity of Schistosoma japonicum infection in terms of stool egg count and ultrasonographically detectable hepatosplenomegaly in a community-based study. It was found that the epidemiological pattern of the infection in this study community was quite different from our usual understanding, that is, the prevalence remained relatively high (39.
