SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The invention encompassed by this patent is
an improved method for the prevention of schistosomal infections, and
the subsequent manifestations of the diseases known as schistosomiasis,
bilharzia, or ``swimmers itch'', by preventing the larval forms of the
parasites, known as cercariae, from penetrating the skin of the
vertebrate host. The topical application of a 2-hydroxy-benzoic anilide
provides prophylactic protection against dermal penetration by the
infective larvae of the parasitic worms.
