Extract

A number of these nematodes were sent to this Department for identification early in 1958 by Dr. J. F. B. Edeson from the Institute for Medical Research at Kuala Lumpur. The specimens were collected from the peritoneal cavity of Macaca irus. Since then, several further collections of the same species have been sent to this Department from time to time. The latter collections came from several laboratories using monkeys caught in Malaya and Siam for the production of poliomyelitis vaccines.
