Abstract
The susceptibility to the infection of Angiostrongylus cantonensis was studied in five inbred stains of mice including four H-2 haplotypes. Three weeks after infection, C57 BL/10J (H-2b) and C57BL/6J (H-2b) stains of mice showed the lowest, CBA (H-2k) and A/J (H-2a) stains showed intermediate, and the BALB/cJ (H-2d) mice showed the greatest susceptibility to infection. BALB/cJ mice also displayed the most body weight loss, the highest number of worms and showed the least number of days of survival. The s susceptibility of C57BL/6J (H-2b) and C57BL/10J (H-2b) strains of mice sharing same H-2 haplotype was the same despite their different genetic backgrounds. These data suggested that the H-2 gene might influence the susceptibility of mice to A. cantonensis.
