English abstract A morphometric study focusing on some features of the reproductive system of Schistosoma mansoni adult worms was performed, aiming to complete previously reported data concerning the effects of undernourishment of the host on the parasites. Male worms were significantly affected (p<0.05) regarding the testicular lobes
Portuguese abstract Foi realizado um estudo morfométrico de alguns elementos do sistema reprodutor de machos e fêmeas de Schistosoma mansoni, objetivando complementar estudo anterior sobre os efeitos da desnutrição do hospedeiro sobre os parasitos. Alterações significativas ocorreram em parasitos machos (p<0,05), em relação aos lobos testiculares
