Abstract excerpt
The differences in host response among strains of rats to intestinal nematode parasite Trichinella spiralis infection could provide a powerful benefit for further elucidation of molecular interactions between the host and the parasite. Using several strains of rats, we previously observed that DA strain is a strong responder and F344 strain is a weak responder with respect to expulsion of the adult worm. To...
