Abstract
The interactions between Ostertagia ostertagi and Cooperia oncophora were studied in calves by concurrent and sequential infections. A reciprocal negative interaction between the 2 species was found in sequential, but not in concurrent infections. This result was supported by the finding of serological cross-reactions. It is suggested that the negative interaction is immunologically mediated. The depression of weight gain found after infection was similar for O. ostertagi- and C. oncophora-infected calves.Entities:
