Figure 1
H&E staining of jejunum in (a) control mice and mice infected with T. spiralis at (b) 2 weeks PI, (c) 8 weeks PI, and (d) 12 weeks PI (magnification 200x): the mucosal damage was sever at 2 weeks PI, characterized by hyperemia, swelling, and significant decrease in villus height. Mixed infiltration of neutrophil cells, eosinophil cells, and lymphocytes affected the mucosal and submucosal layers.
