| investigations into the free-living phase of the cat hookworm life cycle. | laboratory studies were undertaken to evaluate the role of environmental factors on the development of free-living stages of the cat hookworm ancylostoma tubaeforme. an index of development calculated from the proportion of eggs that developed to the infective stage and the reciprocal of the development period, has suggested that the absence of 'high' temperatures (26 degrees - 30 degrees c) would significantly affect the l3 population in contaminated soils. there were, however, no significant d ... | 1978 | 29389 |
| determinants of the longevity of third-stage infective larvae of ancylostoma tubaeforme. | the effects of some extrinsic factors on the lipid (energy) reserves and longevity of third-stage larvae of the cat hookworm ancylostoma tubaeforme, were investigated under controlled laboratory conditions. in nonstressful microenvironmental conditions, larval longevity was directly related to the rate of utilisation of the lipid reserves. the effects of the various environmental stresses on longevity could also be explained largely on the basis of their deleterious effects on the lipid metaboli ... | 1979 | 44307 |
| mechanism of skin penetration by ancylostoma tubaeforme larvae. | skin penetration by infective ancylostoma tubaeforme larvae has been investigated cinematographically and using in vitro techniques. the dermal tissue appears to cause little hinderance to larval migration but complete penetration through the skin from the dermal direction did not occur, although total penetration from the epidermal surface was frequently accomplished. no evidence could be found for enzymic secretions emanating from the worms under conditions that gave positive results from neca ... | 1975 | 235107 |
