Histochemical Observations of Alkaline Phosphatase Activity of Echinococcus Multilocularis during In vivo Development in Golden Hamsters, An alternative Definitive Host

摘要

Histochemical observation of alkaline phosphatase activity of Echinococcus multilocularis during the in vivo development in golden hamster, an alternative definitive host. The present work reports on the ability of protoscoleces from a European fox strain of E. multilocularis to differentiate and develop into the adult form in the small intestine of male Golden hamsters treated with prednisolone. Detection of alkaline phosphatase activity on Various stages of the developing worm was performed by histochemical methods.
