The immune response of inbred laboratory mice to Litomosoides sigmodontis: A route to discovery in myeloid cell biology

Parasite Immunology, Volume 42, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Litomosoides sigmodontis is the only filarial nematode where the full life cycle, from larval delivery to the skin through to circulating microfilaria, can be completed in immunocompetent laboratory mice. It is thus an invaluable tool for the study of filariasis.
