Abstract

The susceptibility of 6 strains of inbred mice to infection with Mesocestoides corti was studied following both intraperitoneal and oral inoculation of tetrathyridia. The greatest degree of resistance was seen in C57BL/6 mice and this resistance was independent of route of inoculation. The proliferation of the parasite in C57BL/6 mice was compared with a more susceptible strain (CBA/H) on 7, 14, 21, 35 and 60 days post-infection. Although both strains harboured significantly different parasite burdens during the initial period following infection, these differences were no longer apparent by day 60.
