Abstract
Irradiation-attenuated helminth parasites have been used in protection against homologous challenge (reviewed by Cox, 1978). The exact dose of irradiation required to attenuate without loss of immunogenicity varies between different species; determination of the dosage and difinition of the effects of irradiation is therefore a vital preliminary step.Keywords
