Abstract

SUMMARY Six sheep were fed infective larvae of Muellerius capillaris at different intervals of time: first stage larvae were recovered subsequently from only 3. A circulatory eosinophilic was observed in 5 of the sheep, from 2 of which first stage larvae were recovered. The sixth sheep showed eosinopenia and first stage larvae were recovered also. The cellular changes in the tissues appeared to be dependent on the resistance induced in the host by repeated infections. The development of the larvae was checked at 3 different points—as fourth stage larvae, as immature adults and as mature adults, originally capable of reproduction. The histological changes in the tissues reflect the stages of the parasite present.
