Estudio de la respuesta inmune humoral en cerdos infectados con huevos y posoncosferas de Taeina solium
Due to the importance of cysticercosis in Mexico and Latin America and to the fact that in the last years another mechanism of infection for this disease has been proposed, i.e. through postoncospheres and immunosuppression of the host, we have considered relevant to perform the present work, which...
