Abstract: In 11 dogs, experimentally infected with Trichuris vulpis, the course of localization of larvae and sexually mature parasites during the different stages of their development in hosts as well as the induced histopathological changes in small and large intestine were monitored. It was found out that up to the 15th day after the infection, T. vulpis larvae developed into small intestinal mucosa and were localized over lamina muscularis mucosae. Afterwards, the larvae reached their sexual maturity in the caecum and the colon. A penetration of the anterior thin part of the parasite into caecal submucosa was observed only in a very heavy infection. Histopathological changes were observed during all stages of parasite’s development.
