| the fate of the filaria monanema martini in two rodent hosts: recovery rate, migration, and localization. | in meriones unguiculatus, the recovery rate of 80 inoculated larvae was low (about 20%) and irregular. in the natural host lemniscomys striatus, the recovery rate was about 50% with inoculated doses of 30, 80 or 400 l3, but slightly higher for 400 l3. this rate was constant from day 2 to month 8 post infection (p.i.). when 7-9 reinoculations were performed in one year, the recovery rate of the late inoculation was of only 14%. after subcutaneous inoculations, larvae penetrated into the peripheri ... | 1990 | 2221759 |
| the murid filaria monanema martini: a model for onchocerciasis. part i. description of lesions. | a study of the anatomo-pathological lesions induced by monanema martini, a filaria with skin-dwelling microfilariae, was performed using 65 lemniscomys striatus fixed from 30 minutes to 36 months after inoculation of the infective larvae, 5 arvicanthis niloticus and 3 meriones unguiculatus fixed during the patent phase, and controls. attempts at quantification of lesions in l. striatus was made. approximately 20% of l. striatus had microfilariae in the eyeballs, and many more presented ocular le ... | 1991 | 1776782 |
