SEM micrographs of A. columbae; (A). The anterior end showing three lips with teeth (T) and two cervical papillae behind each lip (CVP). (B). The anterior end showing cervical papillae (CVP) and amphidial pores (P). (C). The anterior end showing three lips (L) and lateral cephalic alae (LCA). (D). The posterior end of the male showing precloacal sucker (PS) and two spicules (S). (E). The posterior end of the female showing anus (An). (F). The body surface is ornamented with cuticular transverse striations.
