| Abstract: | Lipid changes in the infective third-stage larvae of Ancylostoma tubaeforme following measured periods of activity have been quantified. ‘Excessive’ activity (more than 16 activity régimes, or 8 h in neostigmine bromide) resulted in a significant (> 10%) depletion of the lipid reserves, especially from the anterior region of the intestine. |
