[Experimental studies on the course and consequences of infection with Graphidium strigosum (Nematoda, Trichostrongylidae) in Oryctolagus cuniculus (domestic rabbit)].
After oral infection of domesticated rabbits with 1,500 Graphidium strigosum-larvae III third-stage larvae were discovered in the stomach during the next 6 d, fourth-stage larvae from the 8th d and mature nematodes from the 34th d onwards. In 26 rabbits infected with 75...2,000 larvae III the prepatent period of Graphidium strigosum-infestation varied from 40 to 60, in most cases from 40 to 50 d. After one oral infection with 500...1,000 Graphidium strigosum-larvae III 3-month old domesticated rabbits showed no clinical symptoms, their performance was impaired but only insignificant and a population of 154 to 765 mature nematodes parasitizing in the stomach caused a gastritis catarrhalis chronica, partly a fibrosing gastritis.
