Effect of high doses of gamma-irradiation on growth of Hymenolepis diminuta

P Christie, Redwan Moqbel

Abstract

Irradiation-attenuated helminth parasites have been used in protection against homologous challenge (reviewed by Cox, 1978). The exact dose of irradiation required to attenuate without loss of immunogenicity varies between different species; determination of the dosage and difinition of the effects of irradiation is therefore a vital preliminary step.
