%X lagochilascaris minor is the causative agent of lagochilascariosis, a disease that affects the neck region and causes festering abscesses, with eggs, adult parasites and l3/l4 larvae within the purulent exudates. today, mice are considered to be intermediate hosts for the parasite. c57bl/6 mice produce immunoglobulin igm, iga and igg against the crude extract of the parasite; on the other hand, antibodies produced against the secreted/excreted antigens of lagochilascaris minor present lower levels of igm, iga and igg. this is the first description of antibody detection against different antigens of lagochilascaris minor.
