Abstract: Infective larvae of Ostertagia spp. and Cooperia spp. derived from naturally infected dairy calves were subjected to periods of storage of up to 16 weeks at 4°C or 15°C to determine if this treatment would influence their propensity for arrested development in previously worm-free calves. Results showed no significant increase in the propensity of Ostertagia spp. for arrested development in response to the treatments, but a small increase in the case of Cooperia spp.
