Seminal vesicle growth induced by Ascaris suum infection.
This study was designed to determine the effect of Ascaris suum infection upon growth of mouse vesicular glands. Mice were infected with varying dosages of A. suum eggs and killed after six weeks. Results indicated a dose dependent increase in seminal vesicle weight, independent of total body weight.
