The enhancement of tetrathyridial proliferation of Mesocestoides corti in mice by B.C.G.
The effects of different doses of B.C.G. given at various periods before infection, on the development  of tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides corti was studied. B.C.G. administration was found to exert a complex influence upon M. corti infection in mice. Either enhancement or inhibition of parasite proliferation may occur, depending upon dosage level and the time interval between B.C.G. administration and parasite challenge.
