Extract

1. The nomenclature and host specificity of Toxascaris leonina is reviewed and the conclusion reached that this parasite occurs in a wide range of feline and canine hosts. Notice is given of application to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, for the suppression of Ascaris leptoptera Rudolphi 1809 and A. microptera Rudolphi, 1819, which appear to be senior synonyms of Toxascaris leonina. The synonyms and hosts of T. leonina are tabulated.

2. The distribution and growth of the larvae of T. leonina in experimentally infected mice, cats, and dogs is reported. A feline and a canine strain were used for these infections and infection of cats and dogs was produced both by feeding the eggs containing second-stage larvae and by feeding mouse tissues containing third-stage larvae.
