The physiology and cultivation in artificial media of nematodes parasitic in the alimentary tract of animals

Abstract

It is intended that this review shall give an account of what is known of the physiology of the parasitic stages of nematodes parasitic in animals, with particular reference to those species which are found in the alimentary tract of their hosts. An account will also be given of attempts which have been made to keep the adult and larval phases of parasitic nematodes alive in vitro and of the bearing of the available physiological data upon this problem.
