Extract

1. The recovery of nearly 400 specimens of Fasciola hepatica from experimental infections of the mouse, representing 20 stages covering the period from the first day of infection to maturity at 37 days, has made possible for the first time a study of growth and maturation. Flukes have reached the bile duct on the 32nd day of infection, and in two instances reached this final location on the 29th and 24th days.
