Although research has investigated the host-parasite relationship in Strongyloides venezuelensis infection in the scope of its immunological implications, the morphological consequences of this response for the host organism are yet to be explored. Our objective was to perform an organ morphometric analysis in Wistar rats infected with the intestinal parasite Strongyloides venezuelensis compared with infected rats treated with ivermectin. Twenty-six animals composed three groups: control (non-infected), infected (infected with 2,000 Strongyloides venezuelensis larvae), and infected treated (infected with 2,000 Strongyloides venezuelensis larvae and treated with ivermectin). All rodents were killed 21 days after infection and morphometric analysis of different organs was performed. The results showed significantly higher body and fecal weight in the infected-treated group. The weight of the small intestine increased considerably in the infected group and decreased in the infected-treated group. Pancreas, right kidney, and heart volume increased in the infected group compared with the control group. Despite treatment, the volumes of the stomach, brain, and left kidney increased in both the infected groups compared with the control group indicating the possibility of non-reversible host morphological adaptations. S. venezuelensis infection can augment both, volume and weight of organs – not necessarily related to the Strongyloides expulsion process – even if the acute infection had been in remission. A potential explanation for these host adaptations, including the occurrence of organ plasticity, are briefly discussed. The following steps encompass a histological analysis to verify the occurrence of hypertrophy/hyperplasia and observe if such morphological alterations remain after infection.
