Abstract: Intestinal schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease in tropical and sub-tropical regions. The present work investigated the schistosomicidal potential of a “drug targeting” model and of the antimalarials mefloquine and primaquine. Additionally, the suitability of confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) as a diagnostic tool was evaluated. A dose and time dependent schistosomicidal effect of albumin- and polyethylenglycol-conjugates and the antimalarials was demonstrated in vitro. CLSM visualises schistosomal eggs directly within gut tissue and permits determination of egg viability.
