From: Strongyloides stercoralis infection in a Finnish kennel
Histopathology as seen in the duodenal mucosa of 10-week-old Yorkshire terrier puppy suffering from S. stercoralis infection. Figure 2a: A micrograph to show numerous S. stercoralis larvae and ova (arrows) within the intestinal mucosa. In the mucosa there is moderate diffuse infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Haematoxylin-eosin stained histological section, scale bar = 50 μm. Figure 2b: A close-up micrograph with female S. stercoralis. The small size of the parasite, the relatively large intestine (in) and paired genital tract (gt) are readily seen in this longitudinally sectioned female. Haematoxylin-eosin stained histological section, scale bar = 50 μm.
