Abstract
Investigators have shown that sex influences the susceptibility of certain hosts for their helminth parasites. Whitlock (1937) observed that the female partridge is more susceptible to Syngamus trachea during egg-laying, although Clapham (1939) could find no evidence to support his observation. Casual clinical observations suggest that pinworm, Enterobius vermicularis, burdens increase during pregnancy although women in this state are preoccupied with their health and may, therefore be more observant of this infection.
