In recent years, antimalarial drug mefloquine, an amino alcohol compound, has been found to exhibit potential effect against schistosomes. The feature of antischistosomal properties of mefloquine is that the drug possesses similar killing effect against various development stages of juvenile and adult schistosomes. This paper summarizes the recent three years' progress in experimental studies of mefloquine against schistosomes and other helminthes.
