Extract

Strongyloides papillosus is found to be very common in the Lucknow area where 90% of the sheep are infected. The life-cycle is predominantly indirect, or heterogonic. The development of mature free-living adults takes place between 20° and 37° C., and 34° C. is the optimum temperature. At a temperature of 25° C., the percentage of free-living adults is 60–65 in summer (March to November) and practically 100 in winter (December to February). Immature females can develop at 40° C. in summer, but not in winter, under laboratory conditions.

Inhibition experiments in a hot oven incubator with varying percentages of humidity, and in a humidity chamber incubator with constant 100% humidity, maintained at temperatures varying from 40° to 50° C., show that in the humidity chamber incubator mature free-living adults develop at 34° C. after incubation for 12 hr. at 40° C., after 4 hr. at 42° C., after 2 hr. at 45° C. and after 15 min. at 50° C. The hot oven incubator allows mature free-living adults to develop at 34° C. after 8 hr. at 40° C., after 2 hr. at 42° C., after 1 hr. at 45° C. and after 15 min. at 50° C.
