Abstract
The time-course of acute Giardia muris infection was compared in male and female immunocompetent BALB/c mice that had not previously been exposed to the parasite. No sex-related difference was observed in the time-course of the infection in these mice. Sexually mature mice of both sexes excreted substantial numbers of G. muris cysts (greater than 10(4)/2 hr) over a longer period than did sexually immature mice.
