Very little is known on the presence of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and other components of TGF-β/Smad pathway in the liver, and on their possible influence on fibrosis, over the various stages of infection. Using Wes...

متن کاملParenteral strobilar development of Echinococcus multilocularis in scid mice.
Parenteral strobilation of Echinococcus multilocularis was observed in acid (severe combined immuno-deficient) mice after intracerebral, subcutaneous and intraperitoneal inoculation with protoscoleces. Evaginated protoscoleces and segmented worms were obtained at the inoculated sites. Most worms recovered from peritoneal cavity of scid mice were encapsulated by connective tissue and granulocyte...
