Abstract
The roundworm, Strongyloides papillosus, has long been known as a parasite present in the alimentary tract of sheep, cattle, and some of the other ruminants. In the past it has been considered nonpathogenic and of little economic importance. Recently a number of investigators have considered the possibility that this small parasite, which is embedded in the mucosa of the small intestine, might be overlooked by both veterinarians and those engaged in the sheep industry and as a consequence could possibly be more pathogenic than is generally accepted. With this point in view, an investigation has been made of the pathogenicity, anthelmintics which might be effective against the nematode, and phases of the life history.
