Abstract

The article discusses a study conducted to determine and quantify the spontaneous shedding of infective third-stage larvae for five metastrongyloid parasites of canids and felids by experimental infection of a laboratory raised slug species, Limax maximus. These five five metastrongyloid parasites include Angiostrongylus vasorum, Crenosoma vulpis, Aelurostrongylus abstrusus, Oslerus rostratus and Troglostrongylus wilsoni.
