Susceptibility of inbred mice to Paragonimus miyazakii infection.
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.
