Abstract
Thirty-seven 3-week-old nematode-free white mice were each given equal numbers of embryonated Aspiculuris eggs, and sacrificed after 21 days. The worm counts indicated an inhibition of infection by female mice, the male mice harboring twice as many worms.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
