| establishment, development and fecundity of taenia crassiceps in the intestine of prednisolone-treated mongolian gerbils and inbred mice. | worm establishment, development and fecundity of taenia crassiceps in the intestine of prednisolone (ptba)-treated, 15- and 4-week-old mongolian gerbils and 9-week-old inbred mice of 4 strains (akr/j, balb/can, b10d2/osn and c57bl/ksj) were investigated following oral administration of metacestodes. gerbils were divided into 5 groups of 4 animals each according to the host age and commencement day of ptba-treatment (day -13, -7 or 0 relative to infection). worm recovery from the intestine on day ... | 1990 | 2230031 |
| establishment and survival of the strobilar stage of taenia crassiceps in hamsters, gerbils, and mice, with reference to different helminth isolates. | following the oral administration of metacestodes of two isolates of taenia crassiceps, the enteral establishment and survival of the strobilar stage were examined in golden hamsters (mesocricetus auratus), mongolian gerbils (meriones unguiculatus) and laboratory mice. the origin of the isolates was microtus montebelli caught in japan in 1985 or clethrionomys rutilus captured on st. lawrence island, bering sea, in 1988 (abbreviated as jpn and sli isolates), respectively. the enteral establishmen ... | 1993 | 8295896 |
| infectivity of hymenolepis diminuta for the jird, meriones unguiculatus, and utility of this model for anthelmintic studies. | the jird (meriones unguiculatus) has been shown to be a useful model host for the cestodes taenia crassiceps and echinococcus multilocularis. this report outlines a novel model in which hydrocortisone-treated jirds (0.02% in the feed) are infected with another cestode, hymenolepis diminuta. jirds were inoculated with 5 freshly harvested cysticercoids of h. diminuta prior to (day 0, -1, or -5) or after (day 1 or 5) switching to medicated feed; in some cases, jirds were never medicated. on days 7, ... | 1996 | 8636859 |
| survival of destrobilated adults of taenia crassiceps in t-cell-depleted mongolian gerbils. | in mongolian gerbils (meriones unguiculatus), prednisolone treatment induces the survival of strobilated taenia crassiceps to sexual maturity followed by fecal release of gravid proglottides. the mechanism underlying the effects of prednisolone has not been elucidated in this taeniid/rodent model. using a novel murine monoclonal antibody specific to a cell-surface determinant of gerbil t-cells (husm-m.g.15 of igg2b isotype) for in vivo depletion of the cells, we examined the t-cell dependence of ... | 2000 | 10780736 |
