title: Studies on the epidemiology of Uncinaria stenocephala infections in British greyhounds: seasonal availability of larvae on grass runs.
abstract: The numbers of Uncinaria stenocephala larvae on the grass in a small paddock used continually for exercising greyhounds followed the seasonal pattern associated with gastro-intestinal nematodes of ruminants, pigs and horses in Britain. Contamination persisted throughout the winter months but near-zero values were recorded in the early summer, followed by a rapid rise in mid-July to a peak level in September.
