Effective recombination coefficients have recently been calculated for recombination lines of He I, He II and C IV (among other ions with up to three electrons) for densities and temperatures appropriate for Wolf-Rayet atmospheres. These have been applied to recently obtained infrared spectra of γ Vel in order to derive the He+/He+2 and C+4/He+ + He+2 ratios.
