TI  - Expression of circulating leucocytes before, during and after myiasis by 
      Dermatobia hominis in experimentally infected rats.
PG  - 289-92
AB  - Expression of circulating white blood cells was investigated in rats (Rattus 
      norvegicus) experimentally infected with larvae of Dermatobia hominis, the human 
      bot fly. Leucocytes were counted prior to infection (control group) as well as at 
      6, 10, 15, 20 and 28 days post-infection (dpi) and at 7, 15, 30 and 60 days 
      post-larval emergence (dple). Total leucocyte numbers did not differ markedly 
      among the groups. Significant differences were registered when values from 
      control and animals harboring each larval stage of D. hominis were compared; with 
      crescent rank: L1-, L2-, control and L3-infected groups. Leucocyte numbers were 
      significantly higher in the control, 15, 20 or 28 dpi groups than in the 6 dpi 
      animals. Higher counts were observed in control, L2- or L3-infected rats than 
      L1-infected animals. Neutrophils, eosinophils and both large and small 
      lymphocytes were also counted and analyzed. Basophils and monocytes were 
      insufficient in number to permit statistical studies. These results stimulate the 
      continuity of the studies about the host-parasite relationship in the 
      dermatobiosis.
