Experimental infection of Cysticercus fasciolaris in laboratory animals
Post-Graduate College of Animal Sciences, Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar, U.P., India.
Albino rats, albino mice, guinea pigs, rabbits and hamsters were fed with eggs of Taenia taeniaeformis, to study the development of Cysticercus fasciolaris under experimental conditions. Very few cysts developed in aged albino rats while rats of four weeks age were found to be most susceptible to the infection. Adult mice could not be infected but those of four weeks age could harbour quite a good number of cysts. Both adults and young guinea pigs and rabbits could not be infected. Adult hamsters were found to be refractory to the infection.
Résumé
Des rats albinos, des souris albinos, des cobayes, des lapins et des hamsters ont été infestés avec des œufs de Taenia taeniaeformis, afin d’étudier le développement de Cysticercus fasciolaris, dans des conditions expérimentales. Un très petit nombre de kystes se sont développés chez les rats albinos âgés, tandis que les jeunes rats se montrent plus sensibles à l’infection. Les souris adultes ne s’infestent pas, mais celles de 4 semaines présentent un bon nombre de kystes. Les cobayes, de même que les lapins, jeunes ou adultes, ne peuvent s’infester. Les hamsters adultes se montrent réfractaires à l’infection.
