Extract

The first report of a species of Strongyloides parasitic in cats appears to be that by Chandler (1925 and 1925a). Sandground (1925b) found that cats could be infected with Strongyloides stercoralis from the dog but infections were light and were retained for short periods only. Later (1928) he found that cats had a slightly greater susceptibility to the human strain of S. stercoralis than dogs.
