Steven Chen et al. develop an automated, time-lapsed, high-content screen to quantify the responses of Schistosoma mansoni larvae to chemical insult. They apply their method to evaluate 45 static and kinetic response endpoints for seven drugs and screen 1323 approved drugs. Their work identifies anti-schistosomal compounds and underscores the value of quantifying motion in phenotypic drug discovery.
