N2 - Schistosoma mansoni cercariae were removed from clear and turbid water by flocculation with Sudanese bentonite clays, with Moringa oleifera seeds as well as with pure bentonite. The flocculation technique employed corresponds to that used to clarify Nile water in Sudanese villages. Moringa seeds, pure bentonite and one type of bentonite clay were able to reduce the number of cercariae by more than 90%.
