A – B. Toxocara vitulorum collected from calves. B) Anterior end of worm showed lips (short white arrow), posterior end of male showed coiled tail (black arrow), and posterior end of female worm showed a straight tail end (long white arrow). D) Anterior end of T.vitulorum showed three lips (lip), F) posterior end of female showed short tail (st), G) posterior end of male showed two spicules (sp), C) Toxocara canis collected from street dogs; showed the coiled tail-end of male (black arrow), the straight tail-end of female (white arrow), E) Anterior end of T. canis showed the cephalic alae and lips, F) posterior end of male showed spicules.
