Abstract
Rats are easily infected with certain human strains of E. histolytica; may carry fairly intense infestations for long periods of time; and such passage does not seem to decrease the virulence of the strains carried. Rats may be a transmitting agent of amebiasis to man.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
