Abstract
The effects of infection with Trypanosoma lewisi on the simultaneous development of Hymenolepis diminuta in Sprague-Dawley rats was studied. The mean wet weight of H. diminuta was significantly less heavily inoculated (7 x 106 trypanosomes) rats, than that of worms in more lightly inoculated (1 x 106 trypanosomes) rats. Worms in rats which received trypanosomes on the 8th day of the cestode infection weighed significantly less than worms in control rats. The weight of worms in rats receiving trypanosomes on the same day as the cestodes was not significantly different from that of worms in control rats.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
