Abstract: | Survival of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis larvae after freezing over liquid nitrogen. International Journal for Parasitology4: 173–176. Third stage larvae of N. brasiliensis were frozen over liquid nitrogen and after storage for 7 days were thawed rapidly and inoculated subcutaneously into rats. When ensheathed larvae were used, none survived freezing as judged by motility and infectivity trials. Separate vials of exsheathed larvae survived freezing in proportions ranging from 10 to 64 per cent. Female worms, derived from frozen exsheathed larvae, had a normal complement of eggs in the uterus and both male and female worms had a normal histological appearance. Exsheathed larvae frozen in the presence of 10 per cent dimethylsulphoxide had the same survival rate as those frozen without the addition of cryoprotectant. The addition of 10 per cent glycerol adversely effected the survival of frozen exsheathed larvae. |
