Abstract: | Toye P. G. and Jenkin C. R. 1982. Protection against Mesocestoides corti infection in mice treated with zymosan or Salmonella enteritidis 11RX. International Journal for Parasitology12: 399–402. Zymosan and Salmonella enteritidis 11RX were found to partially protect mice against infection with the cestode Mesocestoides corti. Thus, mice previously infected with S. enteritidis 11RX contained fewer parasites in the peritoneal cavity compared to normal mice. Mice pretreated with zymosan contained fewer parasites in the peritoneal cavity and in the liver compared to normal mice and this protection was enhanced by the passive transfer of serum from mice chronically infected with M. corti. Examination of mice in the initial stages of infection revealed that the administration of zymosan led to an alteration in parasite location from the peritoneal cavity to the liver. |
