Presence of Thelazia callipaeda Railliet & Henry, 1910, in Piedmont, Italy
Abstract
A sample of 314 dogs from a zone of 80,000 ha in Piedmont, Italy, were examined for the presence of thelaziae under the nictitating membrane. Sixteen animals from eight districts were infected, the foothills being the main location of the parasitosis. All 44 nematodes collected were identified as Thelazia callipaeda.
