Abstract
Contrary to general belief, larvae of Ancylostoma duodenale do not always develop directly to adulthood upon invasion of man. In West Bengal, India, arrested development appears to be a seasonal phenomenon which results in (i) reduction of egg output wasted in seeding an inhospitable environment and (ii) a marked increase in eggs entering the environment just before the monsoon begins.Keywords
