Ecology of the free-living stages of Nematodirus spathiger.
Observations were made on the development of eggs and the survival of infective larvae of Nematodirus spathiger hatching from eggs placed on grass plots over a period of a year. Development took place at all seasons although the period between deposition of eggs and hatching was longer in the colder months than in the summer. Survival of the larvae varied from nine months to well over a year.
