title: The effect of the initial inoculum dose and post-infection period on larval dispersal in experimental murine toxocariasis.
abstract: The distribution of Toxocara canis larvae throughout the tissues of mice was studied in three groups of fourty mice each using three inocula sizes, (200/500 and 1000 eggs/mice). The results obtained revealed a significant interaction between the duration of infection, the inoculum size and the dispersal rate of larvae through the examined organs of experimented with mice.
