Summary

Laboratory mice, rats and rabbits are susceptible to the isolate of the E.multilocularis (Asian genotype) isolated from common foxes. E.multilocularis larval cysts with the presence of viable protoscolices have obtained on laboratory mice and rabbits given 2500 and 8500 oncospheres respectively. For experimental preparation of E.multilocularis larval antigen one should apply laboratory mice infected by tapeworm oocysts. Larval average weight derived from each laboratory mice is 18,4±2,7 g following 3 or more months post infection.
