Morphomolecular characterization of Strongylus vulgaris isolated from donkeys with special references to histopathological study on the affected organs.

ABSTRACT: Equine gastrointestinal tract is infected with Strongylus vulgaris (S. vulgaris) which is highly pathogenic parasite for its harmful effect on cranial mesenteric artery during its migration. So, this study was applied for identification of S. vulgaris in donkeys ultramorphologically and molecularly. In addition to, detection of the pathological effect of larval stage of S. vulgaris on the mesenteric arterial system using histopathology and immunohistochemistry. During the period from September to December; 2019, 60 male and 20 female donkeys at the Giza Zoo was postmortem examined. S. vulgaris adults and larvae were collected from the large intestine and cranial mesenteric arteries (CMAs), respectively. Ultramorphological examination of the collected adul
