Protective effect of immunization of rats with holotoxin or B subunit of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin.

abstract：:Larvae of Toxocara canis, a nematode parasite of dogs, infect humans, causing visceral and ocular larva migrans. In noncanid hosts, larvae neither grow nor differentiate but endure in a state of arrested development. Reasoning that parasite protein production is orientated to immune evasion, we undertook a random sequ...
