摘要: A novel method for infecting pigs with Taenia solium using an intramuscular innoculum of oncospheres was investigated in a series five experiments 18 animals. The model is simple to perform, requires minimal number oncospheres, permits multiple infections per animal, and decreases the variation inherent oral infection models. This oncosphere assay (IMOA) may provide valuable tool evaluate therapeutic agents or potential vaccines cysticercosis.
