The early phase of tissue invasion byTrichuris muris (Nematoda: Trichuroidea)

Zeitschrift für Parasitenkunde volume 66, pages 163–166 (1981)Cite this article

Abstract

Eggs ofTrichuris muris hatched when implanted directly into the ceca of mice. The hatched larvae had penetrated the epithelium 40 min after introduction of the eggs. It is certain that the larvae penetrated the epithelium lining the cecal glands after entering the glands. Since penetration through the surface or luminal epithelium was not observed, it may be that the larvae enter gland openings selectively before penetrating epithelial cells.
