[Redescription of Onchocerca gibsoni C. et J., 1910 (author's transl)]
Annales De Parasitologie Humaine Et Comparee
|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
O. gibsoni is redescribed; the hypoderma and the musculature of the female body are studied on transversal sections and compared to several other species of Onchocerca. These structures and the general morphology show the autonomy of a small line of asiatic and african Onchocerca of Bovines (O. gibsoni, O. dukei, O. ochengi and, probably, the other nodular Onchocerca of Bovinae), to which the human parasite, O. volvulus, belongs. The presence of O. gibsoni in Africa is doubtful.
