There were variations within this pattern, <jats:italic>Trichostrongylus<\/jats:italic> spp. having a spring peak that was more pronounced than the autumn peak. The reverse occurred with <jats:italic>Ostertagia, Chabertia<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Oesophagostomum<\/jats:italic> spp., which had a more pronounced autumn peak than spring peak and a lower rate of infection in the summer.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Variations in the infection rate were also noted between the two years of study.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The reasons for these variations are discussed and it appears that weather has some influence on the timing and duration of the peaks but that other factors must also be involved. It is suggested that with some species inhibition of development of the immature stages may occur over the hot dry period, and that these immature worms resume their development towards the end of summer.<\/jats:p><jats:p>A similarity was noticed between the seasonal distribution of the different worm species in Cyprus and in the winter rainfall areas of Australia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x00026511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]],"date-time":"2009-06-05T15:44:35Z","timestamp":1244216675000},"page":"237-250","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Helminth Survey of Sheep and Goats in Cyprus.Part I.
