Title
Scanning electron microscopy of hookworms. 1. Morphological differences between infective stages of Ancylostoma caninum (Ercolani, 1859) and Ancylostoma tubaeforme (Zeder, 1800)
Infective larvae of A. tubaeforme and A. caninum could be distinguished by the aid of scanning electron microscopy. The anterior end in A. caninum was relatively rounder and bigger than in A. tubaeforme. The lateral alae of A. caninum were comparatively more prominent, rose up from the body abruptly and terminated closer to the tip of the tail. The tail in A. caninum tapered more gradually than in A. tubaeforme.
