Morphological and molecular characterization of Setaria equina in donkeys
Abstract Background Adult worms of Setaria equina mainly found in the peritoneal cavity of equine. They were nonpathogenic but might induce varied degrees of peritonitis and might migrate to the eye, brain, lung, and scrotum causing lacrimation, blindness, paraplegia, locomotor, and neurological dis...
