The common roundworm of the dog, Toxocara canis, may also infect a number of other species including humans and mice. Previously, we found profound behavioral and neurological changes in mice infected with this parasite. The present investigation examined the relationship between dose of T. canis and changes in exploratory behavior in mice; issues raised in considering such relationships in a host‐parasite preparation are discussed.
