Infective larvae of Bunostomum trigonocephalum exposed to gamma-irradiation at 60 kr failed to develop in the lamb. At levels of 20 and 40 kr, the infectivity of the larvae was reduced and fewer worms developed with a predominating female population. The worms developing from the irradiated larvae were smaller and the sex organs were ill developed. The females developing from larvae irradiated at 40 kr were functionally sterile with atrophied uterus devoid of eggs.
受到60千伦琴γ射线照射的三角头仰口线虫感染性幼虫在羔羊体内无法发育。在20和40千伦琴的照射剂量下,幼虫的感染力降低,发育出的蠕虫数量减少,且雌性占主导。由受照射幼虫发育而来的蠕虫较小,性器官发育不良。由40千伦琴照射的幼虫发育而来的雌性在功能上不育,子宫萎缩且无卵。
