Abstract: | Morphologic features of the adult female Dipetalonema streptocerca and microfilariae are described and illustrated from serial paraffin sections of biopsied skin from eight Africans. Characteristic features include a maximum diameter of 85 microns, a thin, smooth cuticle, and uteri that fill the body cavity. D. streptocerca is briefly compared to Onchocerca volvulus. |
