Cephalic Structures in the Microfilaria of Chandlerella hawkingi
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Extract
Microfilariae of Chandlerella hawkingi, a filarial parasite of the Indian jungle crow Corvus macrorhynchos Wagler, have been studied using the special staining techniques of Laurence and Simpson (1969). At the tip of the cephalic space a fang-like hook, bifurcated at the base, was visible. Near the hook four equilateral triangle-shaped spines could be seen arranged in a transverse row. There is a well defined oral ring. The pharyngeal thread starts as a funnel-shaped structure to end in the Innenkorper situated in the posterior third of the body.
