Mice were percutaneously infected with S. japonicum; some were orally administered artesunate as described in Section 2. At 0 (before infection) and 23, 35, and 56 days postinfection, six mice from each group were sacrificed for worm burdens and eggs counts measurements. ^∗∗∗𝑃<.001 compared to the artesunate groups at same time point.
