title: Experimental transmission of hydatid infection from camels and cattle to dogs.
abstract: Experimental transmission of hydatid infection was attempted by feeding viable cysts from camels and cattle to dogs. The infection was established in dogs with variable numbers of adult worms being recovered at the end of the experiment. Cats were entirely refractory to experimental infections.
