摘要
A method which does not involve the tedious use of watch glass coprocultures for obtaining filariform infective (L3) larvae of Strongyloides ratti from faecal pellets of infected Sprague-Dawley rats is described. The alternative method utilises Baermannization (18 h) of faecal pellets to yield rhabditiform (L1) larvae of S. ratti and their subsequent culture for 72 h at 19-degrees-C in tissue-culture-flasks containing only dechlorinated tap water to yield infective filariform (L3) larvae. The yields and infectivity of the L3 larvae obtained from the two methods were essentially similar.
