The relationship between pathology and resistance to reinfection with Schistosoma mansoni in mice: a causal mechanism of resistance in chronic infections.

abstract：:The development of microgamonts was studied in the small intestine of a 2-day-old cat after oral inoculation with 10(7) bradyzoites of Sarcocystis hirsuta. The cat was given bradyzoites in 2 doses at 2 h apart and killed 4 h later. Gamonts were seen in parasitophorous vacuoles of goblet cells in the epithelium of the ...
