Abstract
THE examination of the influence of drugs on amœbiasis has depended in large part on results obtained from experimentally infected laboratory animals. Conventional methods for the establishment of experimental amœbiasis have involved administration of amoeba per os or per anum, or the injection of trophozoites into the csæcal lumen.
