Rhabdias/Strongyloides larva in fresh feces

Return to Topic

  • Parasitic Diseases of Reptiles
  • Rhabdias/Strongyloides larva found in fresh feces. It is virtually impossible to differentiate these two parasites except by clinical history. Rhabdias is primarily a parasite of the respiratory system and Strongyloides a parasite of the gastrointestinal tract. Fortunately, they are easily treated with the same anthelmintics.
