| Abstract: | Lambs in one group were inoculated with chlamydiae and Trichostrongylus colubriformis larvae simultaneously; lambs in a second group were inoculated with chlamydiae after a T. colubriformis infection was established. Results were compared to those from groups inoculated with T. colubriformis only and chlamydiae only. There were no significant differences in fecundity associated with chlamydial inoculation. Packed cell volumes (PCVs) were depressed in groups inoculated with chlamydiae, and chlamydial antibody formation appeared to be inhibited when chlamydiae was superimposed on a T. colubriformis infection. Relatively few T. colubriformis adults were recovered in lambs inoculated with chlamydiae and T. colubriformis simultaneously. |
