Popis: SUMMARY Young male guinea-pigs which were given between 300 and 450 Dictyocaulus filaria infective larvae showed signs of htngworm injection 2 to 4 weeks after dosing. A further, larger dose of D. filaria larvae produced only slight symptoms of disease in these animals. When the animals were challenged 5 weeks later with infective larvae of D. viviparus, fewer worms became established in these guinea-pigs than in the controls. It was found also that the D. viviparus grew more slowly in the animals which had received D. filaria than in the controls.
