Abstract
Natural age resistance, in absence of previous exposure to hookworm, commences to operate against the intestinal establishment of Ancylostoma caninum at an earlier age in the bitch than in the dog. There is a marked age resistance in the adult animal and adult bitches are significantly less susceptible to primary infection than are adult dogs.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
