General Appearance

Strongylus - Joaquim Castellà Veterinary Parasitology Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
  • Bursate
  • Large buccal capsule
  • Relatively short (typically 1-5cm) but stout

    • L3 → L4 → adult (typically occurs in the large intestine)
    • Larvae penetrate the mucosal wall and elicit nodule formation
    • Larvae of some species migrate around the body
    • Prepatent period varies between species from 3 weeks to over 6 months
