Ex-sheathed infective larvae of Haemonchus contortus developed to the fourth stage in a salt solution under carbon dioxide. The changes in morphology were similar to those seen in worms from sheep, but development was slower. Greatest numbers of fourth-stage larvae were obtained from solutions gassed with 40% carbon dioxide. Small numbers of fourth-stage worms were present after 48 hr, and as many as 90% were in the fourth stage after 72 hr. Once larvae had commenced to develop carbon dioxide could be withdrawn, and development proceeded readily under air. Serum labeled with a fluorochrome was not detected in the intestine of third-stage worms cultivated in vitro, but was present in fourth-stage worms. It is concluded that under these conditions third-stage larvae of H. contortus were unable to ingest the medium.
