Scanning electron microscopy of the cuticular armature of the nematode Gnathostoma spinigerum Owen, 1836 from cats in Laos
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Abstract
The body surface of an immature female Gnathostoma spinigerum found for the first time in the definitive host (Felis catus f. domestica) in Laos was studied using a scanning electron microscope. All types of cuticular spines, which are one of the most important features for species identification of gnathostomid nematodes, together with their spatial arrangement, are described and figured.
