title: Susceptibility of inbred mice to Paragonimus miyazakii infection.
abstract: Differences in the susceptibility among inbred strains of mice to Paragonimus miyazakii infection were examined. Recovery of worms varied among the strains used. More were recovered from BALB/c mice than from any of the other strains; whereas, the fewest were recovered from C57BL/6 and C57BL/10. No worm formed a cyst in the lung or matured in any of the strains.
