Studies on the experimental transmission of Capillaria philippinensis in monkeys
TL;DR: Embryonated eggs of Capillaria philippinensis fed to 3 species of freshwater fish from northern Luzon, Philippine Islands hatch in the digestive tract and the larvae increase in size becoming infective within 3 weeks, consistent with those previously reported from humans and confirms that autoinfection is part of the life cycle of capillariasis.

Freshwater fishes of thailand as experimental intermediate hosts for Capillaria philippinensis
TL;DR: Nine species of freshwater fishes from Thailand have been exposed to infection with embryonated eggs of Capillaria philippinensis and larvae capable of establishing intestinal capillariasis in Mongolian gerbils were recovered from six fish species.
