Abstract
A series of 16 rabbits were experimentally infected with the Chinese liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis. Egg production was followed by a dilution-counting technic for periods up to 55 weeks after inoculation of the metacercariae. The numbers of eggs increased steadily up to the 17th week and thereafter showed cyclic variation with maxima at roughly 10-week intervals. The mean number of eggs per worm per day, based on counts made during the week of death, was approximately 4000 and the mean number of eggs per gram feces per worm was approximately 100.
