Extract

An investigation of the factors necessary in the development of eggs of the mouse pinworm, A. tetraptera, outside the host, have shown that both oxygen and a suitable temperature (20–30°C.) are necessary. Development at high temperatures (37°C.) leads to a reduction in the number of infective eggs. It has also been demonstrated that there exists in the development of the infective eggs, a period of incubation during which the infective larvae within the eggs, though morphologically well-developed, are incapable of hatching.
