Pathological Changes and Immunity Associated With Experimental Eimeria Vermiformis Infections in the Mouse (Mus Musculus)
Abstract
dc:descriptionPathological changes and immunity were studied in outbred Swiss mice inoculated with 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 or 40,000 oocysts. Oocyst output, food and water consumption, urine production and weight changes were observed daily for 25 days after inoculation (DAI). Histopathologic changes were studied in the small intestine, cecum, colon, mesenteric lymph nodes, liver, spleen and kidney. Surface changes in ileum were studied with the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Immunity to E. vermiformis was determined 30 and 105 DAI. Cross-immunity to E. ferrisi was also studied. An additional meront generation, discovered during the study, was described.
