Abstract excerpt

Genetic influences upon host variation in eosinophilia and resistance to helminth infection, and the relationship between these parameters, were investigated in 7 inbred and 1 hybrid strains of mice infected with Trichinella spiralis. Clear strain-dependent variations were observed in the maximum...
