Humoral immunity and output of first-stage larvae of Elaphostrongylus rangiferi (Nematoda, Metastrongyloidea) by infected reindeer, Rangifer tarandus tarandus
Abstract The use of an indirect immunofluorescence technique demonstrated that serum from reindeer, Rangifer tarandus tarandus , infected with Elaphostrongylus rangiferi (Nematoda, Metastrongyloidea) contained antibodies directed against antigen(s) on the cuticle of the parasites first-stage larvae...
