I am interested in investigating the healing capacity of Th2 in helminth infection particularly hookworm infections in human.So,the need for closely related species such as Nippostrongylus brasilensis is essential for laboratory investigation.

Hi, I do not really have an exact answer to this but you can commonly find Nippostrongylus sp. worms in wild rats/ ricefield rats. Also, there are several culture protocols which can be easily downloaded when you search in Google.
Maybe these articles can help you with the artificial infection methods.
