Extract

The species of the Nematode genus Strongyloides are of considerable interest to helminthologists and extensive studies on the biology of their life-history have been carried out by various workers. Their chief interest lies in the fact that the parasitic stage consists of hermaphroditic forms only, while in the free-living stage there may be a differentiation into males and females before reaching the infective stage. This alternation in the life-cycle is also exhibited by the allied genus Rhabdias, with the exception that, according to Railliet (1899) and Goodey (1922), certain species from the snake do not appear to have this differentiation in the free-living stage.
