| Summary: | The viability of infective larvae of different species of nematode parasites of cattle, buffaloes and goats under room temperature in water was studied. Viability was longest in winter. The longest viable larvae were that of Oesophagostomum species closely followed by that of Haemonchus. The viability was shortest for the nude Strongyloides papillosus larvae irrespective of the season. Percentage viability was highest for Oesophagostomum spp. and least for Strongloides spp |
