Abstract
Lactating female rats infected with 3000 third-stage larvae of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis showed significant increases in worm fecundity and total worm burdens when compared with infected nulliparous controls. Statistically significant differences were recorded for each of the three periods of infection, although these differences were of greatest magnitude during Period 3 (16–30 days of infection).This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
