  • Title: Experimental Haemonchus contortus infections in guinea pigs.
    Author: Wagland BM, Abeydeera LR, Rothwell TL, Ouwerkerk D.
    Journal: Int J Parasitol; 1989 May; 19(3):301-5. PubMed ID: 2759770.
    Abstract:
    Approximately 40% of exsheathed Haemonchus contortus larvae administered to guinea pigs established in the stomach and developed into fourth stage larvae. Most worms were then lost between 5 and 7 days after infection and the guinea pigs were resistant to a second infection. Haemorrhage, oedema and infiltration with inflammatory cells, especially eosinophils, developed in the stomach wall of infected guinea pigs and reactive hyperplastic changes occurred in the gastric lymph node. H. contortus infection of guinea pigs has some potential as a model for study of the pathology, immunology and chemotherapy of gastric nematodiasis.
