Schistosoma mansoni: development of worms from cercaria irradiated at the porta system level, in mice

Revista Da Sociedade Brasileira De Medicina Tropical
G de S Cardoso, Paulo Marcos Zech Coelho

Abstract

Eight groups of outbred albino mice were infected transcutaneously with cercariae of S. mansoni (strains LE and SJ) irradiated with either 3, 20 or 40 Krad, of gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 bomb and a control non irradiated group. Cercariae irradiated with 20 or 40 Krad failed to develop in the portal system and 3 Krad retarded development. Worms of the SJ strain developed more slowly than the LE strain.

Anthelmintics (ASM)

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
