| experimental heteroxenous cycle of lagochilascaris minor leiper, 1909 (nematoda: ascarididae) in white mice and in cats. | reports of natural infections of sylvatic carnivores by adult worms of species similar to lagochilascaris minor in the neotropical region led to attempts to establish experimental cycles in laboratory mice and in cats. also, larval development was seen in the skeletal muscle of an agouti (dasyprocta leporina) infected per os with incubated eggs of the parasite obtained from a human case. in cats, adult worms develop and fertile eggs are expelled in the feces; in mice, larval stages of the parasi ... | 1992 | 1343667 |
| [infection induced in wild rodents dasyprocta leporina (rodentia: dasyproctidae), with larval eggs of lagochilascaris minor (nematoda: ascarididae)]. | specimens of dasyprocta leporina (linnaeus, 1758) were raised out their natural environment. at three to four months of age they were orally inoculated with lagochilascaris minor (leiper, 1909) eggs obtained from a native patient. the eggs were incubated for more than 80 days so that it was possible to obtain, by mechanical compression, larvae that could be maintained alive in liquid medium for 48 hours or more. the animals were sacrificed 14-46 days after infection and tangled larva in inflamma ... | 1990 | 2135484 |
| wild rodents as experimental intermediate hosts of lagochilascaris minor leiper, 1909. | a total of 25 specimens of cavia porcellus (guinea pig), 5 dasyprocta agouti (agouti), and 22 calomys callosus (vesper mice) were inoculated with infective eggs of lagochilascaris minor. the inoculum was prepared with embryonated eggs and orally administered to each individual animal through an esophagus probe. in parallel, 100 specimens of felis catus domesticus were individually fed with 55-70 nodules containing 3rd-stage larvae encysted in tissues of infected rodents. animals were examined an ... | 1999 | 10445999 |
