Abstract:
Detection and quantification of biogenic amines and GABA were carried out on three adult Filariae Litomosoides carinii, Acantocheilonema viteae and Molinema dessetae obtained from Rodents. Catecholamines were under the level of detection. Indolamines and GABA levels depend on species and sex. Results are discussed in relation to the parasitism and localization in the host.
