Abstract
Litomosoides carinii infection causes a decrease in liver glycogen levels in the albino rat, an alternate host, but not in its natural host, the cotton-rat. In the albino rat the primary infection is rejected by about 120 days after infection whereas in the cotton-rat rejection does not occur. Consequently, the drop in hepatic glycogen levels in the albino rat has some correlation with the immune status of the host.Keywords
