In vitro bioassay employing laboratory-cultured larvae of strongyloides stercoralis

摘要

An in vitro bioassay method is provided by maintaining an infection of Strongyloides stercoralis in a host animal, multiplying excreted larvae in coproculture, and exposing the larvae suspended in liquid medium to materials capable of having a biological effect on the larvae. The assay method is useful in assaying the effect of candidate anthelmintic materials.
