Adult male and female worms of Schistosoma mansoni are able to incorporate [14C]cholesterol and convert it into several metabolites. Schistosomula on the other hand cannot convert the incorporated cholesterol. Male worms are able to transfer the [14C]cholesterol and labelled metabolites to female worms but labelled female worms can transfer cholesterol but are unable to transfer the conversion products of cholesterol to male worms. Uptake by female worms of labelled products shed by male worms seems to occur more efficiently in the presence of serum than in its absence.
