Early detection of Trichinella spiralis infection by the polymerase chain reaction in blood samples of experimentally infected mice

Up to now, there is no useful method to diagnose trichinellosis at the early stages of infection. The aim of the present investigation was to know if the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), could detect DNA of migratory larvae in mice experimentally infected with T. spiralis. Thirty- three Balb/c femal...
