Abstract

Novak M. 1982. Histopathological changes in livers of mice infected with tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides corti and exposed to different environmental temperatures. International Journal for Parasitology 12: 41–45. Observations on the histopathology of the liver of mice infected with Mesocestoides corti and kept for 20 days p.i. (post-infection) at low (5 ± 1°C), room (21 ± 1°C) or high (35 ± 1°C) temperature revealed that the degree of liver pathology was directly proportional to the intensity of liver infection, which in turn was the result of the temperature effect. The most severe pathological changes occured in the heavily infected organs of mice kept at low temperature, followed by less prominent changes in moderately infected livers of mice kept at room temperature and the smallest changes in lightly infected livers of mice kept at high temperature. The pathological changes in infected and uninfected livers of hosts exposed to different environmental temperatures are described and compared.
