Effects of iron deficiency on viability of Trichinella spiralis larvae in vitro.
The importance of iron for survival of Trichinella spiralis larvae in vitro was examined. It was found that iron-deficient media drastically reduce the survival of this larva. Also, molting of the larvae was observed in the control media but not in the iron-deficient media.
