Abstract
Experimental Angiostrongylus costaricensis infection was carried out in inbred strains of mice (C57BL/6, BALB/c, DBA/2 and C3H/He). All strains became infected with this parasite. Marked differences in mortality and in worm burden were found among inbred strains of mice tested. A significant reduction was shown in worm length from mice compared to that from cotton rats.Keywords
