On Ascaris vitulorum Goeze
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
Until the appearance of Neumann's paper “ Sur l'Ascaride des Bêtes Bovines ” (1883), Ascaris vitulorum was not generally accepted as a valid species, the form from cattle being referred by different authorities either to Ascaris lumbricoides or A. megalocephala. Neumann's study of this worm showed, however, that the species differs in many important anatomical characters from the common Ascarids of the pig and the horse and since the publication of his memoir the specific identity of A. vitulorum has not been disputed.
