[Immune response in sheep experimentally infected with Haemonchus contortus, Comparative study in male and female (author's transl)].
Merino breed sheep eight months old at the beginning of the experiment and carriers of hemaglobin A were used. They were infected one or more times with H. contortus larvae and then challenged with 500 or 5000 larvae L3. Self-cure was reproduced and animals were found immune after infectation. Self-cure was more evident in females than in males and immunity was also better and appeared earlier in females than in males.
