Appendix 5 Results of in vitro (acid-pepsin) and in vivo (mice inoculations) excystation and subsequent cultivation in vitro. Cysts were obtained from symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects. Percent viability was determined by the eosin exclusion method. Litters of two mouse strains (C57BLl6 and Mastomys) were inoculated and the percentage of mice infected per litter is indicated. Survival time for each culture (derived from both excystation methods) is indicated. 33 96 20 C57BU6 39 85 20 C57BU6 Axenised 49 90 20 C57BI Axenised 3 33 Nil Nil C57BU6 53 64 30 Nil C57BU6 282* 52 nil Nil C57BU6 13 53.8 nil Nil C57BU6 282* 52 nil Nil C57BU6 5 45 nil Nil C57BU6 3 52 nil Nil C57BU6 144* 88.9 20 Nil C57BU6 43 81.4 42 Nil C57BU6 55 78.2 20 Axenised 43 81.4 42 Axenised 144* 88.9 20 Axenised Nil 185* 68.6 30 Nil 22 100 nil Nil 27 49 30t3 C57BU6 48hrs 87* 82.8 10 Nil C57BU6 11 32 nil 20t8 C57BU6 31 67.7 10 Nil C57BU6 20 42 nil Nil C57BU6 178
