Abstract
The plasma concentrations of corticosteroids, insulin and thyroxine in sheep infected with Trichostrongylus colubriformis were determined and compared with those in non-infected pair-fed controls. Corticosteroid levels rose for both infected and pair-fed sheep, but the increase was much greater in infected animals. Insulin was depressed in both infected and pair-fed animals to a similar degree when feed intake fell. Thyroxine levels fell in infected sheep, whereas pair-fed animals showed no change.
