title: Response of ovine prolactin-treated mice to initial infection with Trichinella spiralis.
abstract: 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.
