Extract

Observations have been made on the survival and migration of infective larvae of strongylid nematodes of the horse deposited on outdoor herbage plots. Few larvae ascended the herbage when conditions were very dry and migration was often enhanced by falls of rain. Larvae on the herbage died rapidly during summer but there was a much slower mortality rate during the winter months. An appreciable proportion of larvae placed on the plots in late summer and autumn survived until the spring but, at this time, there was a rapid disappearance of larvae which coincided with the rising temperatures.
