Estudo histológico da mielorradiculopatia esquistossomótica em ratos WISTAR machos

Abstract

Schistosomiasis mansoni is a serious parasitic chronic disease, waterborne, whose etiologic agent is Schistosoma mansoni. It is one of the most prevalent parasitic disease in the world. It occurs in about 70 countries, with 207 million people infected and 700 million in risk areas and for years has been neglected. Among the various forms of clinical presentation, spinal cord involvement is one of the most important due to high morbidity it generates. The development of an experimental model for myeloradiculopathy allows better observation of all events that occur during this type of event, not only in the histological changes, but also in humoral, behavioral and others.
