Extract

1. Panagrellus silusiae was cultured in various media to determine the possibility of establishing it as a facultative parasite in the mammalian body. It was found to tolerate pH values of its environment between 1.0–8.5.

2. It survived for 24 hours in gastric juice but was rapidly killed by pancreatic juice. In both preparations larval mortality was higher than that of adults.

3. P. silusiae withstood environmental temperatures up to 87°C. At 40°C. death did not occur within 24 hours.

4. P. silusiae could survive without oxygen for at least 24 hours provided that the carbon-dioxide produced by its own respiration was not allowed to accumulate.
