A note on the occurrence of an immature parafilariid worm in the anterior chamber of eye of a buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Abstract
An immature parafilarial worm recovered from the anterior chamber of the eye of a buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is described. On the basis of characteristic cuticular ornamentation at the anterior extremity, an undivided short oesophagus and unequal spicules, the specimen has been identified tentatively as a male juvenile of Parafilaria bovicola. This is the first record for P. bovicola as an accidental infection of the eye of a buffalo.
