Dipetalonema viteae infection in hamsters: enhancement and suppression of microfilaraemia
A Haque et al. Parasitology. 1978 Feb.
Abstract
Mature male Dipetalonema viteae released a substance(s) which caused enhanced microfilaraemia in infected hamsters. In hamsters implanted with female D. viteae, the microfilaraemia of a subsequent infection was suppressed. The microfilaraemia of female worms implanted in hamsters was depressed within 5 days when the animals were given a further infection with infective larvae.
