Studied herein is the oral migration of the five species of Gasterophylus present in Italy by the means of the identification of migrating larvae in the oral cavity of n: 76 horses. Each species has its own well defined anatomical place represented by the tongue and periodontal spaces for G. intestinalis, by gums for G. nasalis, by cheeks and labial commissure for G. inermis, by lip skin for G. haemorroidalis, by hard palate for G. pecorum. The last species is the only one becoming larva III in the oral cavity, at the soft palate level.

Abstract

Studied herein is the oral migration of the five species of Gasterophylus present in Italy by the means of the identification of migrating larvae in the oral cavity of n: 76 horses. Each species has its own well defined anatomical place represented by the tongue and periodontal spaces for G. intestinalis, by gums for G. nasalis, by cheeks and labial commissure for G. inermis, by lip skin for G. haemorroidalis, by hard palate for G. pecorum. The last species is the only one becoming larva III in the oral cavity, at the soft palate level.
