Research Abstract

This study is carried out about the hydatid metacestode of new species Echinococcus shiquicus which was discovered in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau region of China in 2005. We used two strains of experimental mice, NOD/Shi-scid and BALB/cA, for the development and multiplication of metacestode. The parasite freezing preservation with Liquid nitrogen and the culture of vesicle were succeeded. From now on, these results will bring of more effects for the future studies of this parasite.
