Abstract excerpt
An analysis of interstrain variation between 12 inbred and 4 congenic rat strains in the expression of immunity against Trichinella spiralis is reported. All rat strains expressed strong rapid expulsion which resulted in the elimination of 88-98% of a challenge infection of muscle larvae. In contrast, substantial interstrain variation in the rate of adult worm expulsion in the primary infection was evident. By...
