The influence of a priming infection with gastrointestinal nematodes on the subsequent establishment of lungworms was studied. Repeated inoculations of calves with Ostertagia ostertagi and Cooperia oncophora during 3, 5 or 7 weeks resulted in an establishment of lungworms that was 191% of the establishment found in naïve controls. The higher take was associated with a higher faecal output of lungworm larvae and with lower weight gains of calves. The effect was not significantly influenced by the duration of the primary infections or by the actual presence or absence of worms in the gastrointestinal tract.
