Response of ovine prolactin-treated mice to initial infection with Trichinella spiralis.
The effects of ovine prolactin on the expulsion of adult Trichinella spiralis were studied in adult virgin female mice. The results showed that ovine prolactin-treated mice had an altered pattern of worm expulsion; i.e., more adult worms were recovered from prolactin-treated mice than from normal control mice, 18 days after infection.
