Parasitological and immunological effects induced by immunization of Mandrillus sphinx against the human filarial Loa loa using infective stage larvae irradiated at 40 krad
Six mandrills were immunized with 150 Loa loa infective stage larvae (L3) irradiated with 40 Krad, and challenged with 100 L3, 60 days after initial vaccination.
