Abstract
A comparative study of eosinophil chemotactic factors was carried out using cysticercoids and oncospheres of Hymenolepis nana. Cysticercoids showed twice the chemotactic activity for eosinophils than the oncosp heres. Eosinophilia induced by oncospheres and cysticercoids observed in secondary and primary infections, respectively were discussed from the view point of the immunobiology of this parasite.
