Extract

Toxocara vajrasthirae is described from the hog-badger (Arctonyx collaris) of Thailand. Of the species in the genus Toxocara, it most closely resembles T. canis. It differs in the possession of proportionately shorter and narrower cervical alae, relatively longer spicules, a coarse, reticulate pattern on the eggshell and an undivided part of the uterus which is longer than the divided part.
