Abstract
The LD50 of Nippostrongylus muris for outbred hooded rats has been estimated. It was higher for males than for females and this does not appear to be due to weight differences. The distribution of times of death was bimodal; the peaks corresponding to different stages in the life cycle of the worm.We wish to thank Mrs M. Whitehead for technical assistance and Mr I. McDonald for statistical analysis.Keywords
