Linguatula serrata (Fröhlich, 1789) in Gray Wolf ( Canis lupus ) from Italy: A Neglected Zoonotic Parasite

Linguatula serrata , Frohlich, 1789, is a cosmopolitan zoonotic worm-like parasite of carnivores and other vertebrates including herbivores and omnivores. The adult form of the parasite typically inhabits the upper respiratory system, nares, and frontal sinuses of dogs, wolves, and cats. Infective e...
