Persistent airway hyper‐responsiveness and inflammation in<i>Toxocara canis‐</i>infected BALB/c mice

Abstract

The presence of Toxocara larva in the lungs at 60 days p.i. following a single infection could explain the persistent pulmonary inflammation, airway hyper-reactivity, eosinophilia and increased IgE production observed in T. canis-infected BALB/c mice.
