Abstract

The life cycle and biology of T. deminutus were studied and investigations were carried out on the site of infection in the host, the female to male ratio, the egg laying capacity of the female worms, the development of the eggs after leaving the host and preliminary observations on the effects of desiccation and low temperatures on the third stage larvae were made.
