Abstract
Most of the experiments were performed with the dog tapeworm, Taenia pisiformis, up to 5 times the standard dose of its extract being injected into 4 heavily infected dogs with no depressor response; though in dogs (no. not stated) which had never been infected it produced decided fall in blood pressure. Extract of Toxocara canis gave similar depressor action, but the toxic principle was evidently distinct, for the depressor reaction was developed when a dose of Toxocara canis extract was given after either a previous dose of the same extract or one of Taenia pisiformis extract. The reaction in either case is evidently not anaphylactic.
