Inhibited development of dictyocaulus larvæ in the lungs of cattle and sheep

ABSTRACT THE limitation to the value of the diagnostic procedure of examining bovine fæces for the larvæ of _Dictyocaulus viviparus_ has become increasingly clear during recent years. It has

always been realized that immature worms would not reveal their presence in this way, and more recently the effect of host resistance has been recognized in reducing the rate of egg

production by the female worms. A third source of error in attempting to diagnose parasitic bronchitis in cattle by fæcal examinations has now come to our notice, in that we have found

_Dictyocaulus_ larvæ invading the lungs of a partially resistant host, to be retarded in their development for some weeks and in some instances for months, and to constitute a possible

source of disease that could not be detected by ordinary means even on post-mortem examination. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content,
