Abstract

Extract

The susceptibility of many trichostrongylid nematodes, particularly those inhabiting the abomasa of domestic ruminants, to inhibited parasitic develolpment is well known. In most cases development is arrested at a precise point for a given species, usually occurring shortly before or after a moult (CitationRogers and Sommerville, 1969). Of the abomasal parasites of sheep, inhibition in Haemonchus contortus and Ostertagia circumcincta occurs at the early fourth stage (CitationBlitz and Gibbs, 1971; CitationSommerville, 1953, Citation1954) and in Trichostrongvlus axei at a more loosely defined “fourth” larval stage (CitationReid and Armour, 1972).
