Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eye Worm of Chickens
When infested fowls are kept in a cage with dry board ?oors, together with uninfested fowls no ispread of the eye worm takes place so long as the boards are kept dry and the feces frequently removed. We have carried on the experiments with such direct exposure for five months without producing any infestation. When fully mature worms are removed from the eye of one fowl and placed in that of another they do not always remain more than a week or ten days. This apparently indicates that their life functions were at an end and they simply passed down through the tear duct. In one or two cases of bad infestation the worms completely disappeared from the eyes of infested fowls which were kept confined in a cage on dry boards. It is apparent, therefore, that so long as no opportunity from re infestation is offered from infested soil a single infestation has a limited course and ends when the worms have reached com plete maturity and disappear down the tear duct.
