The effect of drugs on the cell cycle of Giardia intestinalis.

abstract：:Potential mechanisms of immunoregulation have been investigated for the capacity to generate heterogeneity in the outcome of infection with helminth parasites. We have developed a mathematical model of the interaction between T cell and parasite populations, based on the assumption that activation of a Th1 CD4+ T cell...

abstract：:Trichinella spiralis infections may lead to the loss of behavioural dominance among male mice. Reversals of dominance order first appear at the time when newborn larvae are released into the circulation of the host. The duration of dominance reversals bears no relationship to the number of muscle larvae harboured. ...
