Zusammenfassung:The development of Metacuterebra apicalis in laboratory conditions is described. The natural host, Oryzomys subflavus, and laboratory white rats were used as experimental hosts. The life cycle, from oviposition to the deaths of adults, was completed in about 73 days. The incubation period of eggs was about 10 days; the parasitic larval phase lasted 23 days in the natural host and 26 days in white rats; pupa lived for 32 days and adults survived for six days. Em condições experimentais de laboratório, foi desenvolvido o ciclo biológico de Metacuterebra apicalis. Serviram como hospedeiros Rodentia Oryzomys subflavus e Rattus norvegicus. O ciclo foi desenvolvido em cerca de 73 dias, sendo os períodos aproximados de 10 dias para embrionia dos ovos, de 23 e 26 dias, respectivamente, para o parasitismo em O. sublflavus e R. norvegicus, de 32 dias para pupa, e de seis dias para sobrevida dos insetos adultos.
