Abstract
Abomasal mucosal mast cell and eosinophil accumulation was morphometri cally evaluated in 26 Holstein steers after natural or experimental in fection with Ostertagia ostertagi. Results showed that following infec tion, accumulation of mast cells and eosinophils in abomasal tissue wa s dependent on infection pattern. Eosinophilia was greater in steers w ith type 1 ostertagiosis, while mastocytosis was more pronounced in st eers with type 2 ostertagiosis.
