Abstract
In 7 cases of heavy Ascaris lumbricoides infection in human beings the worms were all collected and measured. Sizes of worms in each infection indicated that the worms were of about the same age. This suggests that a pre-existent intestinal infection with Ascaris may prevent the development of worms entering the body subsequently.Keywords
