Extract

Although several records now exist of the occurrence of Capillaria (Hepaticola) hepatica (Bancroft, 1893) as a natural infection of the wild rabbit the attempts which have been made to infect this host with eggs obtained from an infection in the rat have not been completely successful. Nishigori (1925) states that although this parasite can infect the rabbit and shew some development it does not reach maturity, while Saito (1925), in the English account of his paper given in The Japan Medical World states that “In the rabbit the larva might develop into maturity and cause pathological changes but do not multiply.”
