Abstract
BACKGROUND:Skin lesions of filaria worms are usually common in domestic animal. In camels, the most reported species is O. fasciata, which involves subcutaneous connective tissue OBJECTIVES: The present study was conducted morphologically characterize adult O.fasciata through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, microfillers were identified by light microscopy.METHODS: SEM suggested cloacal and the caudal papillae in the coiled posterior end of the male O. fasciata. In the females, annulations appeared as rough dentate lines and the posterior end was pointed and spirally coiled. The collected Microfilaria were also stained and examined by light microscope. Different parts were identified in the microfilariae staining. The size of microfillers was estimated to be 197 µm to 221 µm.RESULTS: The present research pioneered the comprehensive morphological and morphometric description of O. fasciata based on SEM in Iran. The findings obtained from the present study are recommended to be used in future research on this parasite
