Morphological features of a Giemsa-stained B. malayi microfilaria from a macaque and a B. pahangi microfilaria from a dog.
(A) B. malayi microfilaria from a macaque. (B) B. pahangi microfilaria from a dog, cs- cephalic space; nr-nerve ring; ec-excretory cell; ep-excretory pore; ib-inner body or “Innenkörper”; ap-anal pore; r-1,r2-4-rectal cells; stn-subterminal nuclei; tn-terminal nucleus, arrows – measurement points, scale bar 10 μm.
