  • The life-cycle of Syphacia muris Yamaguti (Nematoda: Oxyuroidea) in the laboratory rat

  • The life-cycle of Syphacia muris is described in primary infections of Wistar rats. The life-cycle of S. muris is completed within seven days and no moults were discovered inside the egg. Instead each of two moults were observed outside the egg up to 24 and 40 hours after infection, and TEM studies suggest a third moult occurs up to 64 hours. The development and maturation of the larval stages are described for the first time using both light and electron microscopy. Differences in the size and growth of female S. muris compared with previously published figures could be due to differences in the strains of rats used.
