Abstract

Fresh eggs obtained from female Nematospiroides dubius were cultured at temperatures ranging from 5°C to 33°C. Hatching occurred between 5°C and 30°C; third stage larvae were obtained between 5°C and 25°C. The minimum time required from hatching to development to the third stage was 3.6 days (at 20°C) and the maximum was seven days (at 5°C). Larvae cultured at higher temperatures were smaller than those cultured at lower ones.
