A prevalence of natural infection with Schistosoma mansoni of 23.9 per cent. was found in 134 Papio doguera (dog face baboons) classified as children or older. These findings were based upon the examination of tissue removed at autopsy from the liver and intestine. The demonstration of natural infection in baboons indicates that P. doguera is a reservoir host for S. mansoni in East Africa.
