Extract

During the investigations that have been carried out at this Laboratory into the factors concerning the development of the strongyloid diseases of grazing animals the requirement has been felt for some method whereby the infective larvae of the parasitic worms could be recovered from the pasture herbage and an estimate made of the relative extent of infection, or possibly, of the actual number of larvae available to the grazing animal.
