Absorption of glucose in vitro by enteric stages of Trichinella spiralis was examined in worms isolated at different times following infection. Glucose absorption by 6-h-old worms was similar to that seen during moulting (24 h post-infection (p.i.]. As embryogenesis began (48 h p.i.) glucose absorption in vitro by the parasite rose dramatically to a peak in 72-h-old worms. Absorption of glucose in vitro remained high in 96-h-old worms but as larviposition began (120 h p.i.) glucose uptake by T. spiralis dropped significantly. Glucose absorption by worms isolated from the host during the primary immune response was unaffected. Glucose absorption in vitro remained at similar levels in worms isolated between 120 and 312 h p.i. The percentage of absorbed label incorporated into parasite tissues was greatest in 48- and 312-h-old worms. Glucose uptake in vitro by pre-adult and adult worms changed with time and these changes accompanied specific events in the biology of the parasite. |
