experimental infection in chickens with larvae of baylisascaris transfuga (nematoda: ascaridoidea).

the larvae of baylisascaris transfuga (rudolphi, 1819) were able to penetrate the liver, lungs, carcass and brain of infected chickens, but a great number of larvae accumulated in the liver. no clinical signs were seen. birds may serve as paratenic hosts of the parasite, but b. transfuga seems not to be a possible agent of avian cerebrospinal nematodosis.
