Isolado de Lagochilascaris minor: procedimentos para obtenção de ovos infectantes

Resumo

Lagochilascaris minor has been mantained in the Department of Parasitology of the Federal University of Goias, since 1989, using as experimental models the domestic cat and the mouse. At first, the infecting eggs of the parasite were obtained from the dissection of the uteri of L. minor females recovered from human cervical lesions. Afterwards it was observed that, in experimentally infected cats, the parasites are preferentially localized in tissues from rhino or oropharinge. In these tissues the worms are found in the interior of tumours that forms a fistula to the lumen of the digestive tube and release a great quantity of eggs in the feces of these animals. The spontaneous sedimentation method in association with the centrifugoflotation in zinc sulphate method (Faust et al.) was proposed, aiming to optimize the obtention of the female eliminated eggs of L. minor, in feces of infected cats.
