- An
immature male Hooded Warbler, banded in August 1987
at Hilton Pond during fall migration, was netted the following May on breeding grounds near Chapel Hill, N.C., by a graduate student studying this species.
Antigen testing is not as effective
at detecting infection with adult worms < 5 months old and is unable to detect
immature worm infections,
male - only infections, and some infections with only one adult female worm.1 If the infection does not produce an adult worm, the worms are
immature at the time of testing, or only
male adult worms are present, a false - negative result may be obtained.
