The influence of host genetics on the susceptibility to primary Trichinella spiralis infection has been extensively studied in a mouse model, but has not been clarified for rats. Analyses of interstrain and intrastrain genetic variation in response to infectious agents could be beneficial not only for elucidating the genetic basis of host resistance/susceptibility, but for revealing immune response mechanisms as...
