Reduced parasite fecundity within the small intestines of this host appears to result from a culmination of early attrition at the inoculation site and lungs, in addition to adverse events in the local intestinal environment. Implies that eosinophils and not some other indirect consequence of over-expression of IL-5 are responsible for this resistance. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Microbiology and Immunology, 1999
