For tapeworms follow up 2 or 3 months post-treatment was also performed.
To date however, the effect of an intestinal adult tapeworm on leucocyte migration from the pronephros has not been ascertained.
The individual points for each proglottid number represent the measurements for the individual tapeworms.
The actual number of tapeworms used for each set of measurements is indicated in the results section.
The length of the tapeworms varied from 3 to 40 mm.
Cross-sections of 176 proglottids were obtained from randomly selected sections of strobilae from 12 tapeworms.
Transmission to humans occurs when eggs of the tapeworm, excreted by the final hosts (usually foxes but also dogs, wolves and cats), are ingested accidentally.
Copepods were starved the day before experimental infection with tapeworms.
