American trypanosomiasis (Chagas' disease) in conventional and germfree rats and mice
Keywords:
Chagas' disease, Trypanosomiasis, Germfree rats, Germfree miceAbstract
Germfree (GF) and conventional (CV) CFW (LOB) mice and Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats were infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. The disease was more severe in the GF than in the CV animals as revealed by: (1) an earlier and more intense parasitemia; (2) a more precocious mortality; (3) a twice enlarged spleen: (4) a more intense cell and tissue parasitism; (5) visceral signs of cardiac failure.Downloads
