Extract

Infective larvae of P. tenuis given orally to guineapigs, penetrated the stomach wall and reached the body cavity. Some dispersed in the omentum extending along the greater curvature of the stomach. Others wandered into and through the liver. Some migrated through the diaphragm or along the mesentery ensheathing the hepatic vein and the vena cava. In the pleural cavity some penetrated the pericardium, and the pleura and parenchyma of the lungs. Numerous larvae were overcome by the host in the mesentery, particularly the omentum.
