| the potential of vervet monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) and baboons (papio anubis) as models for the study of the immunology of echinococcus granulosus infections. | nine vervet monkeys and nine baboons were infected with eggs of echinococcus granulosus per os. six of the vervets and one of the baboons possessed hydatid cysts at autopsy, 15-28 months post-infection. the sequential igg response to hydatid fluid and protoscolex antigens showed considerable inter-animal variation. infected vervets and baboons became seropositive after an average of 8 months post-infection. considerable fluctuation in the igg response was observed, particularly to the hydatid fl ... | 1993 | 8341587 |
