Scanning electron microscopy observations of BALB/c mice infected with 1 × 106 oocytes of C. muris (a) and with 3 × 106 of C. muris (b). C. muris adhered to the surfaces of epithelial cells in the glandular part of the gastric mucosa (a, b, 5000×) (arrows). The surfaces of the epithelial cells were swollen and disordered. The integrity of the mucosal layer of the gastric glandular had been damaged, and many cilia had fallen off or atrophied
