This paper argues that, although the shared and universal ideology of the Islamic revival movements was adopted by the Islamic movement in Israel, the movement has been trying to embody it in diverse and distinctive ways. In principle there is a conflict between commitment to the principle of Islamic revivalism on the one hand, and being so committed in the specific context of the ethnic Jewish state, on the other. The Jewish context of the State of Israel continues to bedevil the development of the Islamic movement in Israel. Since the 1930s, Islamic revivalism in Palestine has undergone five phases of development: the Egyptian, Israeli, Palestinian, and the two phases of ‘adaptation’ and ‘post-adaptation’. These phases reflect ideological developments, rather than simply a historical evolution. They are also the outcome of three sets of constraints: structural, ideological and domestic.

SUMMARYThe tegumental surface of Schistosoma mansoni sporocysts is the site of both nutritive and immunological interactions with haemolymph cells and plasma of Biomphalaria glabrata, the schistosome intermediate host. Within minutes of being placed in host plasma, sporocysts acquire plasma antigens, and within 3 h host plasma antigens are present on the surface at near steady state. Though a wide variety of peptides is acquired, there is selection. Furthermore, some differences occur in the peptides acquired from the plasma of susceptible and resistant strains of snail. Acquired antigens are rapidly processed, and are predominantly undetectable in tegumental extracts after a few hours. In contrast, rabbit antibody on sporocysts remains in situ for at least 48 h, so under some conditions there is stable expression of certain tegumental antigenic determinants.These data, obtained using antibodies to snail plasma antigens and to sporocyst tegumental antigens, are discussed in the light of current ideas on the cellular and molecular basis of susceptibility and resistance in this host#parasite system.
