Chronological observations of intestinal histopathology in rats (Rattus norvegicus) infected with Centrocestus caninus.
Intestinal pathological enzyme activity changes were studied chronologically in rats after Centrocestus caninus infection. A single inoculation of 300 metacercariae isolated from the gills of goldfish (Carassius auratus), was orally administered to male rats (n = 15). Uninfected animals were used as...
