Lymnea columella snails were exposed to 3-5 newly emerged
Fasciola hepatica miracidia. The procedure insured 75-100 percent
infection of the host. Groups of 40 each exposed snails were placed
in controlled temperature containers and maintained at the following
series of temperatures: 8°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, and 35° C. Two...
Acid and alkaline phosphatase was localized histochemically in the intestinal epithelium and excretory duct respectively in fresh
frozen sections of Fasciola hepatica. Polyphenol oxidase was
localized in the vitellaria, vitelline ducts and egg-shells. The distribution
and nature of esterases was examined histochemically. Acetyl-cholinesterase
was observed in the tegument, neural ganglia,...

The literature relating to fascioliasis in experimental hosts,
and the clawed jird (Meriones unguiculatus) as an experimental host
was reviewed.
Four experiments were conducted using experimental hosts for
Fasciola hepatica. The first two experiments were done using Swiss
mice, B. P. laboratory albino strain; the third and fourth experiments
involved...
