Abstract

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the morphology of Thelazia (Thelaziella) sp. specimens obtained from a captive Oriental White Stork Ciconia boyciana in Japan. The morphological characteristics were found to be identical to those of T. (T.) aquillina, with some additional new morphological features revealed by SEM.
