Abstract

This work has been a continuation of the investigation of ground squirrels under stress and their pinworm infection. My assistant, Mr. Joseph Choi, and I subjected groups of the Uinta ground squirrel, Citellus armatus, to the stress of reduced night-time temperatures and noted the effect on the numbers of the cecal pinworms, Syphacia citelli, compared to controls. Project Number 103.
