The Effect of Protein Deficient Diets on the Susceptibility of Guinea Pigs to Infection with Endamoeba Histolytica^*

Three similar groups of guinea pigs were fed respectively an adequate diet, a diet quantitatively deficient in protein and a diet qualitatively deficient in protein, for a period of 8 to 11 days, after which they were inoculated intracecally with E. histolytica trophozoites, were continued on the same diets, and were sacrificed 7 days later. The infectivity rates showed no statistically significant differences, and the gross and microscopic findings were similar in the three groups.
