Fourteen plots were established on parasite-free pasture at each of two sites. One plot at each site was contaminated every month with faeces from naturally infected goats containing a known proportion of Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus colubriformis eggs. Pasture was sampled at regular intervals after contamination and infective larvae identified and counted. Larvae of both species developed throughout the year in the wet zone but development was more sporadic in the dry zone. Larval counts generally declined to below detectable levels within 9 weeks of contamination between September and March but longevity increased during the cooler weather from April to August. The comparatively short larval survival times noted in this experiment may present opportunities for manipulation of parasite population dynamics in the wet tropics. aEpidemiology aGastrointestinal nematodes aGoats aHelminths aParasites aParasitology aSeasons aSheep aCaprino aEpidemiologia aHaemonchus Contortus aHelminto Gastrintestinal aOvino aParasito aParasitologia aParasitose aLarval survival aTrychostrongylus colubriformis aVerminose gastrintestinal1 aSINGH, R.1 aBARGER, I.
