Popis: Nippostrongylus brasiliensis is a natural parasite of rat, closely related to human hookworm. Experimental host in which the parasite will attain sexual maturity include mouse, hamster, rabbit, chinchilla and to lesser extend in a cotton rat. The parasite does not occur naturally in laboratory rodents and its primary importance is as a model of immunology, host parasite interaction and anthelmintic testing.
