title: Failure of low level gamma-irradiation of infective larvae to influence establishment or expulsion of Trichostrongylus colubriformis in guinea pigs.
abstract: Trichostrongylus colubriformis infective larvae were subjected to various levels of gamma-irradiation and administered to guinea pigs. The worms surviving were subsequently counted. Irradiation with 12.9 C kg-1 inhibited worm establishment but lower doses neither influenced worm establishment nor survival.
