[Infection of wild rats with Angiostrongylus costaricensis by intraperitoneal subcutaneous route].
Three groups of cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) were infected with Angiostrongylus costaricensis; the first was inoculated by stomach tube; the second intraperitoneally and the third subcutaneously. In all the groups each rat received 50 L3. The highest rates of infection (51.5%) were obtained by the intraperitoneal route, followed by oral inoculation (47.1%). Poor results were observed (10.5%) subcutaneously.
