Evaluation of crude adult Ascaris suum intestinal tract homogenate in inducing protective IgG production against A. suum larvae in BALB/c mice.

Globally, ascariasis ranks as the second leading intestinal helminth infection. However, progress in developing better control strategies, such as vaccines, remains slow-paced. This study aims to measure antibody production and parasite load in male BALB/c mice immunized with crude Ascaris suum intestinal tract homogenate.
