Fifty children aged 6 to 13 years and infected with Ascaris lumbricoides were selected for the study. The number of eggs laid daily by a female Ascaris increased with increase in its length, weight and diameter. Female worms became mature and started laying eggs when they reached a length of 118 mm. Adult female worms measuring 3.7 mm or more in diameter were found to be mature. The minimum weight of a worm producing eggs was 1.1 g. On average the number of eggs produced by the female decreased with increase in the worm load.
选取了50名6至13岁感染蛔虫的儿童进行该研究。雌性蛔虫每日产卵数量随其长度、重量和直径的增加而增加。雌性蛔虫长到118毫米时成熟并开始产卵。发现直径3.7毫米及以上的成年雌性蛔虫已成熟。产卵蛔虫的最小重量为1.1克。平均而言，雌性蛔虫产卵数量随虫负荷增加而减少。
