ABSTRACT
The viability of hydatid cysts developed in vitro for 90 days was assessed by implantation into mice. Cysts removed from mice at 270 days post-infection (p.i.) increased their size 13.5-fold and contained several brood capsules containing protoscoleces. Thus, cysts remain viable after prolonged in vitro culture. The implantation in mice of 15 cysts developed in vitro yielded an average of 10 cysts per mouse, which is indicative of a high survival rate in these experimental infections. The ultrastructural study of cysts recovered from mice 270 days p.i. showed that the germinal membrane was more compact than before implantation and several layers of tegumental cells had developed. Observations of cysts removed from mice indicated that the plasma membrane surrounding microtriches had prolongations opening into the laminated layer.
