CBA/Ca rapidly cleared intravenously- injected microfilariae from peripheral blood and tissues.

A: blood density of microfilariae was monitored on blood smear over 30 days of CBA/Ca (black square) and BALB/c mice (open square). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (p < 0.0001); B: Parasitic load in the lungs, spleen and liver 15 minutes, one hour and four days p.i. of CBA/Ca and BALB/c mice is detected by quantitative amplification of COI. Results are expressed as the median + range of six observations for tissue and represented as a stacked barplot.
