Extract

Previous work in parafilariasis and histological study of the causal nematode in skin nodules, collected from bubaline hosts on biopsy from Orissa, is outlined. The present study relates to some observations made from the gravid female with special reference to its anterior end and the histopathology of the skin lesions. The specimens of Parafilaria bovicola Tubangui, 1934, recovered locally from ox, have been compared and the available specific characters of P. sahaii, reported from buffalo, scrutinised. This form is not considered a valid species and accordingly dropped as a synonym of P. bovicola.
