Summary

An in vitro culture system incorporating a cell monolayer was used to induce most activated oncospheres of Taenia ovis to enter post-oncospheral development. Seven distinct developmental phases were recognized during the 23 days required for development to reach a stage similar to that achieved after 14 days in vivo. Secretions or tegumental substance were released during each developmental phase.
