Susceptibility and reactive manifestation to Trichinella spiralis infection were studied in sheep for the period of 247 days. Sheep produced anti-Trichinella antibodies as early on day 11, with maximum reached at day 35. From day 42 the antibody level was declining with a negative result of examination on day 70. On day 32, T. spiralis larvae in sheep were present in all groups of the examined muscle. The highest larval counts during the entire experiment were detected in the masseter. The initially high counts in the diaphragm and tongue were reduced to only 1/4 or 1/10 at the end of the experiment.
