Extract

The examination of Strongylus edentatus and S. vulgaris revealed that these parasites ingest the hosts' blood and that haematin is the result of the digestion of haemoglobin. The amounts of blood necessary to form the quantities recorded as being present in the parasites' intestines have been calculated.
