This study showed the effect of infection with S.

haematobium on the biochemical constituent in mice.

It was found that the parasite caused a reduction (P < 0.05 ) in protein and cholesterol content during 14, 18, 20 and 22 weeks post infection in both liver and kidney tissues ; while it was not effected on muscle content of protein and cholesterol during period of infection.

The highest number of parasites (intensity of infection)was seen after 18 weeks post infection.
