Pancreatic secretion is the migratory cue for Hymenolepis diminuta in rat small intestine.
Pylorus and bile-duct restrictions did not prevent the anteriad migration of Hymenolepis diminuta in rat small intestine after food feeding. However, migration was inhibited when the common bile-duct was occluded. The results indicate that pancreatic secretion is the migratory cue for Hymenolepis diminuta in rats.
