Migration route of Strongyloides ratti in albino rats

Abstract:

The migration route of Strongyloides ratti larvae was studied chronologically and quantitatively in albino rats infected either by subcutaneous or intravenous routes with 500 filariform larvae. The larvae migrated through the loose subcutis to the cranial cavity and naso-frontal portion of the head by 15-50 hours post inoculation (p.i) and then migrated to the small intestine 40 hours p.i. and later. The present study confirms previous observation on the invasion of larvae into cranium using a different strain of S. ratti and demonstrated the presence of a subcutaneous migration route between the inoculation site and the head for the first time.
