Outdoor observations were made on the rate of development of the free-living stages of H. contortus at different times of the year, and on the migratory activities and longevity of the larvae in faeces, on herbage and in soil.The effects of temperature and humidity on the survival and development of eggs and larvae, both in faeces and when separated from the faeces, were studied in the laboratory.The results of these observations are discussed in relation to the heavy mortality of the free-living stages of H. contortus and to the transmission of infection in the field.

Effects Of Temperature

The effects of temperature on the survival and development of the free-living stages of Trichostrongylus retortaeformis have been studied using agar cultures inoculated with pure cultures of Escherichia coli. The ova hatched and infective larvae developed at temperatures ranging from 5 °C to 30 °C, but 35 °C was lethal in 24 hours. The time of development of the larvae to the infective stage was inversely proportional to the ambient temperature between the limits of 10 °C and 30 °C. The longevity in water of third-stage larvae previously cultured at 20 °C, 25 °C, and 30 °C was studied at temperatures ranging from 5 °C to 40 °C.

Effects Of Temperature

The free-living phase of the life-cycle of Nematodirus helvetianus was studied out of doors on grass plots and the effects of temperature and humidity on the free-living stages were studied in the laboratory. The results of these observations are discussed in relation to the bionomics of N. battus and N. filicollis, and tentative deductions made regarding the epidemiology of N. helvetianus infection.I wish to thank Mr J. Bailey for technical assistance.
