Scientific Classification
| Class | Nematoda |
| Superfamily | Trichodectidae |
Hosts
Donkeys, and occasionally horses.
Identification
Adults are slender, thread-like and white. Females are larger than males at around 6.5cm in length. The males have a small non-lobulated bursa.
The embryonated eggs are 80-100µm in length.
Life Cycle

The prepatent period is 2-3 months.
