On the Free-Living Larval Stages of the Nematode Bunostomum trigonocephalum (Rud.) a Parasite of Sheep

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  05 June 2009

Extract

The only account of the larval stages of Bunostomum trigonocephalum (Rud.) which I have been able to find is a brief note by Baillet (1866), in which he states that the larvæ of Uncinaria cernua Crep. = B. trigonocephalum (Rud.), develop in water and hatch within four or six days. The newly hatched larvæ are “rhabditiform,” .35 to .4 mm. long and ·23 to .3 mm. broad, and the tail is very thin and filiform.
