title: Viability and pattern of emergence of Dictyocaulus viviparus larvae in sporangia of the fungus Pilobolus kleinii.
abstract: Recoveries of third stage Dicytocaulus viviparus larvae (L3) from Pilobolus species sporangia ranged from 23 per cent at 21 days to 3 per cent after 90 days for sporangia attached to polythene discs positioned on pasture. There was a continuous release of L3 for up to 16 days from sporangia which were placed under conditions simulating those occurring on pasture.
