Echinococcus granulosus down regulates the hepatic expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNFα in BALB/c mice

Hydatid disease is caused by the metacestode of Echinococcus granulosus. Different experimental models have been used to understand hydatid disease. In current studies BALB/c mice were used to evaluate the hepatic response of IL-6 and TNFα triggered by Echinococcus granulosus. BALB/c mice were intra...
