| Abstract: | Infections of M. corti in rats were compared with those in mice. The recoveries of parasites and their distribution were examined for 60 days after infection. During this period continuous and extensive multiplication occurred in mice. In rats there was an initial multiplication of tetrathyridia in the first 10 days followed by a decline in numbers. The relative distribution of tetrathyridia between the peritoneal cavity and liver was similar in both hosts. |
