Abstract excerpt
The infection efficiency of different strains of Encephalitozoon hellem of human origin was tested in Vero E6 cell cultures, scoring the number of infection foci (NIF) after 9, 14, 20, and 24 days of inoculation. The results revealed a strong interaction of the strain type with time: different strains showed different proliferative dynamics. Number of infection foci was lower on the first sampling day for CDC:...
