Encapsulated egg deposition pattern of @entity2042 in the peritoneal cavity of XXXX .

@entity19 @entity281 @entity2042 @entity738
Thirty-four albino @entity19 were each exposed to 20 cercariae of @entity2042 by the intraperitoneal or percutaneous route and killed after 60-127 days. The peritoneal cavity of each @entity19 was flushed and worms in the portal vein system were perfused with citrated saline. After sedimentation, washings were examined microscopically. Mature worms were only found in the portal vein system. The worm recovery rate was much higher by percutaneous @entity281 (61.2%) than by intraperitoneal (37.1%). The encapsulated egg @entity738 were observed either in the peritoneal cavity or on the intestinal wall; the mean number of encapsulated egg @entity738 was also higher in the former (1.6) than in the latter (0.6). The average number of eggs per @entity738 was very similar by both routes (10.7 and 11.4). The mean size of encapsulated egg @entity738 (529 microns) was increased correspondingly with the number of eggs (range 181-985 microns). The percentage of viable eggs within the @entity738 in the peritoneal cavity (77%) was much higher than those on the intestinal wall (18%). Encapsulated egg @entity738 were usually ovoid although some had an irregular shape.
