| Popis: | Two species of fish-eating bird namely, Amaurornis phoenicurus and Ardeola bacchus were fed with infective larvae of Capillaria philippinensis in Gambusia holbrookii. Intestinal capillariasis was able to establish in all three A. phoenicurus and one of three A. bacchus. Prepatent period in A. phoenicurus ranged from 22 to 30 days, whereas in A. bacchus it was 16 days after infection. Auto-infection was observed in all susceptible birds and the protective immunity had developed in one of A. phoenicurus used. |
